Great healthy plants with no duck weed!

Plants were received really quickly, well packaged and well labelled. Best of all NO DUCK WEED which has been a problem with every other place I have ordered pond plants from in the past (and indeed in-person nurseries too).

The plants have been in my pond a couple of weeks now and are looking really well, putting up new leaves and flowers. Very pleased. Communication was also good.

There was a fault with the product. The company quickly supplied me with a return label, had the product collected, and promptly issued a complete refund. Excellent work.

world of water closed…

Since our local world of water closed last year I have been ordering pond food for my koi on line.
All works extremely well, easy site to order from and delivery always prompt.
Only thing I miss is the outing when visiting the local branch.
