This year we promise to have a great selection of water plants for all you pond and bog owners out there. Even if you have a large piece of pottery or a whiskey barrel that will hold water, we can help you turn it into a water feature that will wow your visitors. Most of our plants are hardy for our Zone 5/6 but, some will be tropicals that must be protected from freezing. Here are just some of the water plants we’ll have for this year:
