I live in Amarillo, TX. I'm installing a turtle pond (only a year behind schedule!) and would like to go ahead and try to attract garters to the body of water as well. The "pond" is 5' across and 2' deep, and will be sunk into the ground in an area that gets partial sun much of the day. I've got boards on the ground near where the pond is going in. I am trying to figure out what else I need to do to encourage garters (or ribbons) to use the pond. I plan to stock it with cheap fish (rosy reds and goldfish). Are there any good cover plants to plant along the pond? Anything like that I can/should do.
