The pond as an eye-catcher
You've decided to have a pond or water feature built, or maybe you're going to dig and install the pond yourself. Good choice! A pond appeals to many people, given that water is a basic necessity of life. In addition, a water feature brings peace and harmony. By placing a pond you bring a real eye-catcher to the garden. For inspiration, on this page you will find pictures of pond examples and ideas for applications and pond plants in your pond.
Popular hardy pond plants for the pond
Organic plant pond
Simon is convinced that nature regulates itself. So does a pond, provided of course we observe a few rules. Adjustment is necessary from time to time, especially when, for example, a foil or other material is applied to keep the water in the pond. There are also ponds where no foil is applied. In these ponds, nature helps filter the soil. The yellow lis helps with this, this is the water purifier in the pond.

Organic plant pond with waterfall
Float plants and oxygen plants
Floating plants and oxygen plants provide clear water by filtering the water. They also delight fish, as they like to use the plants as hiding places. Oxygen plant hornwort is one that does incredibly well in the pond and will not proliferate.

Floating plant island
Koi carp love practically all pond plants. A perfect solution to still have plants in your koi pond without eating them is a floating plant island. You make this easily with PVC pipes and a Japanese mat, which allows water to pass through for the aquatic plants. Pennywort is a hardy marsh plant that is an excellent fit for such an island. The great thing is that the plant will grow over the edge, so over time you won't see the PVC pipes and your koi will still have something to snack on from time to time.

A sleek pond fits into a modern garden
Tight pond or mirror pond
A mirror pond is a sleek pond with a water surface as smooth as a mirror. This type of pond is usually placed shallow and pumps, filters and uv equipment are often recommended. Do you like a mirror pond but still want aquatic plants? Then you can put in some water lilies. Like in the photo to the right, where the pink water lily Nymphaea 'Pink Opal' is blooming.

Mirror pond with plants
Usually, mirror ponds do not get help from aquatic plants, marsh plants or water lilies. To still achieve and maintain a biological balance, we recommend adding lots of underwater growing oxygen plants. These also help to keep out algae in the water. A combination package of these plants fits perfectly in a reflection pond. This includes individual oxygen plants and oxygen plants in baskets for the bottom.

Nature pond or fish pond
A natural pond or fishpond does not have foil, plastic or other materials applied to the bottom to seal it. They are often very large bodies of water. The water level is maintained by groundwater, for example, or by supplying water naturally, other than tap water.
Water Lilies
Water lilies are popular aquatic plants, and not just with people. They are hugely important for your fish, which can take shelter under them, protecting them from impending danger. Water lilies are absolute eye-catchers, which we offer in all shapes and sizes. Are you considering a large pond? For that, we have complete water lily beds of perennial water lilies. These do not need to be planted, but you can literally throw them directly into the pond.
Swimming pond with plant filter
Swimming in the garden is something you do in the summer, and the tough ones among us also take a dip outside the summer period. A swimming pond is an inexpensive pool that requires relatively little looking after, provided it is properly constructed. A full-fledged plant filter is indispensable here, as this is the filter to keep your swimming water clear and algae-free.

White dwarf water lily Nymphaea 'Pygmaea Alba'
Terrace pond or mini pond
Digging is not necessary if you choose a patio pond or mini pond in the garden. What you do need is a waterproof container, bowl or rain barrel that will serve as a pond, and of course enough and different pond plants. The nice thing is that you can put your mini pond right on your small patio or balcony. Just watch how much life comes to it! We have a recommendation for you: the best water lily for such a small pond is the white dwarf water lily Nymphaea 'Pygmaea Alba'.
