Please note we are still adding Pricing and Product. Any questions please call. Waterford Gardens Specialist In Fine Aquatics Welcome to our new web site! A special welcome to all of our loyal customers who may be missing our mail order catalog. We understand our web pages are not the same as an actual catalog but we hope you will be able to easily find what you are looking for and possibly even something more. As Waterford Gardens celebrates 25 years, our history and especially our location dates back much further. The property and buildings we occupy were once that of William Tricker who established his business in 1895. William Tricker was an originator of commercial water lily culture in the United States and was a specialist in the growing and hybridizing of water lilies. Not only will you find his name on many lily varieties but in certain publications you'll find references made to his famous lily catalog. Although we are sad to stop the printing of our catalog which had carried on a long history, we too must adapt and evolve. We do however find comfort in knowing that we continue to operate Waterford Gardens and utilize this location for the very same purpose as it had been designed for over one hundred years ago. As one of the first water lily farms in the United States. We are proud to continue in the footsteps of such a rich history and hope you have a chance to visit us soon. Waterford Gardens sells everything you need for a water garden or a Koi pond. We carry a full range of hardy and tropical water lilies ( both night and day blooming ). They exhibit colors that span the spectrum from white to pinks, yellow, reds, blues, deep purple and lavenders. We carry a wide range of Lotus, varying in size from dwarf to large and in colors from white to yellow, pink and crimson. We have a very extensive selection of both hardy and tropical bog plants which no pond should be without. You will also find that we carry an excellent selection of fish. From imported Japanese Koi to domestic Koi in butterfly and standard varieties. Also an ample selection of Shubunkin, Comets, Sarassa Comets, Japanese Fantail, Calico Fantail, Golden Orfe and Orandas. And what pond would be complete without some scavangers we have Tadpoles, Trapdoor Snails and fresh water clams. And best of all we know how to ship them all.

The negative reviews of this place baffle me. I come here for pond supplies, aquatic plants, and koi. I've been keeping koi and a pond in my yard for a long time now and have dealt with other pond...
