Floating
Aquatic Planters |
| Whether
you’re adding new plants to your pond or dividing
existing pond plants, we always recommend you use
aquatic planters. Specially designed for use in your
garden pond, these planters have been designed to let
the water flow through them whilst retaining the soil
your plants are growing in. By using planters you can
also control the growth of your plants – it’s easy
for you to lift them out of your pond to divide up your
plants to prevent overcrowding. |
