We also have 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 are not open to the public due to planning restrictions.
We send our water plants & Pond Products mail order to UK destinations (except Northern Ireland & Channel Islands) using the courier APC.
Growing:
We sell plants we have grown from our own stock by seed or cuttings – unlike many other online stores that sell through a wholesaler.
We send our pond plants rooted in mesh baskets using aquatic clay soil ready to be immediately placed into your pond or container pond.
Our finished planted baskets grow outside in troughs on the Nursery area throughout the year so are hardened and acclimatised.
They transfer to you easily at any time of year except when there is thick ice across the water.
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.
Purchase moisture loving plants for around a pond supplied rooted in solid pots also grown from our own seed.

Now we concentrate on our online website and send our homegrown pond plants direct to you on 24-hour delivery via our courier, APC. (Some areas of Scotland and all Island destinations will be longer than 24-hours.)
We are near at hand for pond plants and pond accessories for any and all our customers whenever or wherever they need us through our website shop.
