Waterside Nursery grow Water Plants for all areas of a pond
We grow water plants ready to place straight into your pond.
Linda started Waterside Nursery and to specialize in growing Water Plants in 1995. We now have a team of propagators that grow and pot up our marginal shelf pond plants and deep water plants. Also available are water lilies for ponds and miniature water plants and waterlilies for our design of fibreglass patio container pond features.
Waterside Nursery grow water plants only for our own online mail order website.
We sell plants we have grown ourselves from our own stock by seed or cuttings – unlike many other online stores.
Plants are sent rooted in mesh baskets using aquatic compost ready to be immediately placed into your pond or container pond.
Our planted baskets grow on in outside troughs on the Nursery area throughout the year so are hardened.
They transfer to you easily at any time of year except when there is thick ice across the water.
Please see our Pond Planting Schemes if you are new to ponds. These are our Starter kits for customers that feel unsure how to plant their newly built pond.
Our water plants & Pond Products are sent mail order only to UK destinations (except Northern Ireland & Channel Islands) using the courier APC.
