The Water Margins is a specialist Aquatic Plant Nursery situated in the heart of the beautiful Pembrokeshire countryside, in South West Wales. We are a small family run business established through a shared interest and passion for all things aquatic! Combined we have qualifications and experience in several fields of aquaculture and horticulture and have a wealth of knowledge to advise people on their ponds, lakes and water features.
Several years ago we decided to combine our knowledge and set up a specialist nursery. We now grow our own extensive range of aquatic plants/water plants, bog plants, moisture loving plants for all situations at very competitive prices. We also sell plants for drier situations such as grasses and bamboos.

Ken's top tips
Report
At this time of the year, the water lilies have started to flower. In a small pond, you can remove the older leaves, when they are past their prime and starting to die back. Don't forget to look out for any snails, feeding on the leaves, that you may wish to keep. Now is the time that you may have an infestation of aphids on the leaves and flowers.
Plant of the month
Report
Native to Britain also throughout Europe, North and Central Asia and North America. Once established it produces almost a ball of bright yellow flowers very early in the spring. After flowering in March and April foliage will die back but it may have a second flowering late in the year. Other types are Caltha palustris 'Alba' from the Himalayas which is smaller than Caltha palustris with white flowers.
Floating Plants
Report
These plants will add extra interest to any pond. They do not need planting as they float on the surface of the water and reproduce freely by runners. They can also provide excellent cover for fish and other aquatic wildlife. Floating plants reduce the amount of sunlight falling into the water and absorb nutrients thus reducing the amount of algae that is able to be produced in the water.
Water Lillies
Report
We stock an extensive range of water lilies. With their floating foliage and blossoms of great beauty they are the crowning glory of any pond. We have a wide array of colours and range of sizes suitable for small to large ponds and shallow to deep water. Water lilies provide useful cover against predatory birds and reduce sunlight hence reducing algal growth.
