Our Feedback
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.
