How much of the BioPond plantings are natural, and how much are planted here?
The BioPond is entirely man made, including the pond. Although there may be a tree or two which planted itself in the past, for the most part, every plant was put here by someone. The Garden was begun just before the turn of this century, and was started as a companion to the then Botany Department of the University of Pennsylvania.
