So we are excavating a pond. It is in the corner of a field, away from the house, beautiful views all around. I want to plant things that reflect in the water, but that don't look too "garden-y" and more "natural landscape-y". I haven't managed to come up with much more than Cornus Alba Sibirica for the lovely red stems in winter. And maybe some birch. Any ideas? Both for around the pond (1/2 acre-ish) and on the island in the middle (a sort of oval shape around umm 20 ft long?)
I know there is also a school of thought which says don't plant anything, let things seed and see what comes - does anyone have any experience of this?
