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 through the winter and allows us to grow hybrid waterlilies even though the water is not more than twelve inches deep.
