The Lily Pond Garden at NBG occupies a space originally constructed as a children's sandbox in the late 1930s. After decades of abandonment, the site was reclaimed and transformed by Narrows Botanical Gardens in the late 1990s into a pond garden centered around water lilies and aquatic plantings. Over the years, nature gradually reshaped the pond into a thriving ecosystem where cattails, frogs, dragonflies, birds, and other wildlife now flourish. Today, the Lily Pond serves as a self-sustaining habitat and a peaceful place for visitors to observe the rich diversity of life at the water's edge.
