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.
And what kind of pond store would we be if we didn't have a seemingly overwhelming amount of hard goods from chemicals to filters and pumps. Actually compared to some sites we probably have very little. But maybe that is where we should begin to draw some differences in this area. We carry what works and truly have first hand experience on how the product will and does work. We often cherry pick certain manufactures product lines picking out what they do best and avoiding their me too products. We do feel we have an excellent selection of products which can meet the needs of the professional installer as well as the do-it yourselfer. Of course if you have a favorite product and don't see it here please let us know we would love to test it out.
While looking through our pages be on the look out for our "Gold Star" products. These are products for one reason or another have found a special place in our hearts as well as many of our customers. It however does not mean that this is the best product for you as some products will be very condition specific but if it is a toss up then you would be hard pressed to find a better product.
Ok, you have already spent way too much time on the first page! Dive in and explore and be sure to pick up a piece of water lily history.
