We have close to 30 years of experience in the water gardening field and has been trading for over 25 years. In 1996, we launched our online mail order service in Australia.
Since then, we have been operating solely as a mail order business. Every now and then we import rare, interesting and new plant materials from around the world into Australia to add to our existing range. We also have our own plant breeding programme, experimenting with the creation of new varieties of waterlilies, lotus and marginal plants.
