I am in Zone 6a, new pond about 3/4 Acre. installed in an old farm field. most of the area around the pond is cut down meadow, no trees or shrubs
I would like to landscape around the pond this spring by installing the various shrubs and plants beneficial to the health of the pond and wildlife. Is there any guidance out there to assist in this task?

Is there any guidance out there to assist in this task? Shrubs I would steer away from due to the leaves dropping in the pond. For marginal plants, there is Plantain, Arrowhead, Pickerelweed, Sweet Flag, Iris, etc. (stay away from Cattails and Yellow Iris).
