Where to buy pond plants?

happy_gardener

B&Q or Homebase do not sell them. Where can I buy plants for my pond in the Count Antrim area? I know I can buy online but I like to go to a garden centre to see them...

Maybe a bit far?

Try Maidenhead Aquatics - they have a branch in the Newtownabbey area.

B & Q will probably have available package plants, you can 'pot' and put in the pond to grow, e.g. lily & iris.

No idea of price but I have seen them for sale in Dobbies in Lisburn.

According to a staff member in my local B&Q they do not stock them now...I was told they sold them out cheap cheap to clear stock1

B & Q : yes, that would've been last year's stock - there may be more coming for the new 'season'!

Maidenhead are in the Hillside Garden Centre on the Doagh Road. I was in there on Fri night buying fish. Ive bought pond plants off Hillside before as well but they arent doing them now that Maidenhead have a section of their showroom.

As mentioned Exotic Aquatics is where I got most of my pond plants and would recommend them as well.
