Let The Water Garden staff help keep your garden ponds &
water gardens healthy this summer.
Check out our Water
Garden Seasonal Care page for information on getting
your pond off to a healthy start this summer. Algae can be problem
this time of year in many ponds. If this is the case in your pond,
go to our Algae
Control page to learn how to rid your water garden of
green water and/or string algae.
Spend some time browsing our
aquatic
plant listings for that new water
lily or shallow
water plant to add to your pond this year.
We are currently shipping many of our water garden plants at this
time and will be shipping all aquatic plants soon.
Construction of our
display water
gardens & garden ponds is now
complete at
our new location.
Shopping For
Aquatic Plants?
Most aquatics plants sold by The Water
Garden are mature & growing plants. Since we want them to arrive
at your address in the best possible condition, we only ship them on
Mondays & Tuesdays.
This shipping schedule is to ensure that
your plants arrive at your address in good condition. Shipping them
later in the week, could put your plants at risk for spending a
weekend in a hot shipping warehouse somewhere between our store in
Chattanooga & your garden pond.
Detailed
information about our policy for shipping aquatic plants.

A Customer Writes...
I received my order today and it arrived in perfect condition. It
was in such good condition it appeared that it was harvested just
this morning! I was also very impressed with the water lily, its a
very healthy and robust plant. I look forward to this plant being a
part of our garden for many years to come.
Thank you for the great quality and wonderful
service.

Tip of the Week |
|
In very hot weather fish are using more oxygen and the water is
holding less. If you have a heavy fish population or low water
circulation in your pond, you should consider adding extra aeration
to your pond. [Pond-Air Aeration Pump]

Tree-hole
Frog Uses Acoustic Tricks
The male tree-hole frog is a one-inch-long
fellow that lives in the rainforests of the southeast Asian
island of Borneo. He's not much on brainpower, but he's smart
enough to do something no researcher has ever seen before,
according to a new study in the journal Nature.
