Throughout the different generations here at Victoriana, we’ve accumulated almost a century’s worth of combined practical knowledge of all aspects of pond life, water gardening and aquaculture. Suffice to say, we can be considered as specialists in this popular aspect of gardening, and our water gardening listing reflects this.

If you have the capacity, then we thoroughly advocate the addition of a pond into your garden design scheme. Whether small or large, a pond or water garden becomes a beneficial feature in terms of plant varieties, sound, texture and visiting wildlife. In fact, even the smallest of ponds or bog gardens will attract a whole host of new life into your back yard, from small native birds, amphibians and colourful insects, to hedgehogs and larger mammals.

Children, of course, will also find ponds of shapes and sizes, and water gardening itself, a hugely rewarding and educational experience, as the pond offers a whole new underwater world for them to explore and understand.

Water gardening is as much about management as it is about picking the right plants and keeping them in check. Whatever its size, a pond must be well balanced to ensure that it thrives and survives. We offer a good variety of marginals and pond plants that will help you to achieve a natural balance in your water garden, and of course we are more than happy to take the time to advise you on all aspects of pond care. It’s also worth mentioning that we do not sell UV lights or filtration, quite simply because we do not deem them necessary in a well-balanced pond!

For those unable to achieve clear water that’s free of blanket weed, we have some naturally based remedies to help resolve the problem. And if your fish have fallen victim to a heron raid, then you’ll be pleased to note that we also supply an excellent protection system, based on a discrete electric fence.

Dave and I have attended your nursery a couple of times now. Your assistants are truly welcoming and extremely knowledgeable, and we have seen amazing results in the clarity of our pond water since purchasing some of the oxygenating plants we bought from you ie. crispa, water violet, water cress etc. Dave practically fell in the tank of crispa when we visited you and it has been a standing joke ever since. Thanks to all of you for your help and we will visit again soon.
