On the west side of the pond, I've planted a redbud clump. It is an understory tree - meant to grow under the canopy of the birches around the pond. I also planted some shrubs - while they are in full sun right now, eventually, they will be in shade for at least half of the day, so I chose ruby spice clethra and autumn magic chokeberry. Both of these types of shrubs will sucker and will eventually form a nice colony. I've been moving shrubs and perennials from other areas of the yard to this area, too. I've also added small paths - eventually the stone edge you see in the bottom picture will be one side of a larger path that goes around the entire pond.
