What's New |
| |
|
| This year marks a change to the way I will be operating
the water garden nursery. I no longer have a retail display area at the
shop, as there was simply not enough space to offer a full selection of
my plants. Instead, customers anywhere in the UK can now order their
water garden plants online from me through this web site. The plants can
then be delivered by post, or alternatively collected from the shop
premises at a pre-arranged time. More details can be found
here |
| |
| In order to undertake this change it is necessary to
restructure the nursery a bit, so I will not be able to offer the full
range of plants from my collections for a while. More varieties will
be added as things progress. Please check here
for new additions. |

| When first planted the flowers are two-tone pink

free flowering and again lifts its flowers high above the foliage. Truly
amazing! |
