Great!

I don't dare call myself a pond specialist yet, but gosh what a help this book has been to me. I built my pond myself (with a little help). I keep looking back on this as a cool experience that has given me a unique pond... and you can say that the biodiversity in my garden has been restored, I even have a salamander in the garden. Awesome!

A top-notch book!

I had the idea of having a pond built in my garden for several years but never followed through because I didn't know how. This book playfully explains what to consider, which made it all a lot easier for me!

Moss balls are indispensable in a pond because they add oxygen to the pond water and filter the water of waste products, keeping the pond and the life in it healthy. But this is not the only thing, moss balls are also known as spiritual purifiers according to Japanese tradition due to their strong cleansing powers. Moss balls can live up to 100 years and grow 5 millimeters per year. So to moss balls you really have a unique aquatic plant for both pond, aquarium or as decoration in a large glass filled with substrate and water! So choose Simons pond advice book with moss balls.

Created by pond specialist, for future pond specialists

Since 1986 I have been engaged in breeding aquatic plants and developing ponds in a nature-friendly and environmentally conscious manner.

I, Simon, besides finding it important to fulfill the dream that people have to create a unique water feature in the garden, perhaps even more important to restore biodiversity in the world and to inspire people about it.
After all, not everyone is aware that nature is increasingly being replaced by stone. Or maybe you are aware of this but don't know how you can contribute to nature conservation.

This is why ponds and aquatic plants inspire me so much, aquatic plants filter the pond water and keep it clean and healthy. Ponds and pond plants in turn attract all kinds of life to the pond such as: butterflies, dragonflies, frogs and toads, as well as all kinds of birds such as the blackbird.

My son Chris van der Velde has joined the company since 2012 and co-owner since 2020, we share the goal of restoring the world's biodiversity by contributing with this book, our vision and our aquatic plants to make pieces of nature throughout Europe and preferably all over the world.

Will you help us reach this goal? Order the book and take your first step!
