THE POND GARDENS
 
    The water plantings at Cady’s Falls are made up of a string of long narrow ponds which were created out of the weedy ditch that used to drain the barnyard when this was an active dairy. The ponds rely on a thick layer of muck to retain the water which flows by gravity through a buried pipe from the farm spring. This year-round flow of water keeps the bottom of the ponds from freezing in the winter and allows us to grow hybrid waterlilies and the exotic skunk cabbages, even though the water is no more than twelve inches deep.
