Great advice and material from Simon for our new pond.
So without any prior knowledge from us now for 3 years a picture in the garden and beautiful clear water 🍀🙏
Selma Grund
Great products and knowledgeable!
Ordered 6 x water soldier , these arrived somewhat short-winged and did not float well in the pond. But with some patience and attention they have now grown beautifully large and are flowering beautifully!

For 30 years I have had a pond. Remodeled this season with some of my old pond water and plants.
Supplemented with clear pond suggestions from van der Velde. The result is better than I ever had: beautiful plants and so clear that I can see the fish down to the bottom.
Really great !!!

A first patio pond is fun and exciting to experiment with. With the help of the excellent, involved support, the plants from the mini kit have come to life. Thanks to the addition of extra bacteria, I can now easily see a frog swimming in the mini pond. Thanks to Britt for her good advice. Also, the delivery is careful and fast. So far, a beautiful water lily has appeared twice, folding its leaves to go to sleep at night.Just following this cycle is beautiful.

Without too much experience, I began a sizable pond project. I bought Simon's book, and it helped me tremendously, both in construction and setup. Then I ordered the substrate, bacteria and all the plants, following as much as possible the method described in the book, for a natural pond without pumps and filters.
Tim Lommerse
Very knowledgeable advice, extensive web shop and above all, excellent customer service.
My supplied Cape Lily turned out not to be viable, without any problems a new one was then sent in no time.
Maria Janssen
Can't say that I super liked what I ordered from Van der Velde. Plants, food, ground cover, gravel.
Well packed, fast delivery, and excellent quality!
If you have not ordered anything I would do it quickly, you will not regret it.
Good luck !
