Water Plants

We are your water gardening experts. We carry a large variety of water plants to choose from. Most are in one gallon size pots and include water lilies, floating clover, spike rush, parrots feather, horsetail, umbrella plant, tiny cattail, and many more. Most grow great in the sun, but some prefer the shade.

The pond is built and the waterfall flowing now comes one of the most satisfying aspects of having a pond, adding the water plants. Most pond owners will be amazed at the many plant varieties available for water gardening. The choices range from the queen of the water garden, the water lily, to graceful rushes and grasses. In addition gardeners will rejoice, when unlike most plants that need good drainage to survive the water plants can thrive right in the water, with the roots completely submerged.

Organic Lawn Food

Trying to cut down on the use of synthetic fertilzers on you lawn? Well now you can keep it green and healthy organically. ‘E.B. Stone’ Natures Green Lawn Food is just what you have been looking for. It is the only organic lawn food We have come across. The best part is it works. We have been using on our lawn here at the nursery, and seeing is believing. It feeds for a longer period than synthetics, so you don’t have to use it as often. It contains mychorizae so it actually improves the condition of the soil.
