Pond Plants 101 Workshop

Our Pond Plants 101 Workshop is for those looking to create a pond that feels lush, balanced, and alive throughout the seasons.  Whether you’re completely new to water gardening or already have an established pond, this workshop is designed to give you the confidence to choose, plant, and care for aquatic plants successfully.

Join us at Aqua Eden for a relaxed and informative afternoon dedicated entirely to pond plants.  Learn about the important role they play in creating a healthy, beautiful ecosystem.

During the workshop we’ll cover:

• How to choose the right aquatic plants for different pond sizes and styles
• The best combinations for year-round colour, texture, and interest
• Plants that encourage wildlife and create valuable habitats for frogs, dragonflies, pollinators, and birds
• The differences between oxygenating, marginal, floating, and deep-water plants
• Common mistakes when planting aquatic plants and how to avoid them
• Seasonal care and ongoing maintenance to keep ponds looking their best

We’ll also carry out a practical potting-on demonstration, showing you exactly how to plant aquatic species correctly to give them the strongest possible start. We’ll discuss planting media, baskets, positioning, feeding, dividing, and long-term maintenance so you can feel confident caring for your pond at home.

This workshop is ideal for:

• New pond owners
• Wildlife gardeners
• Anyone planning a new pond
• Those wanting healthier, more attractive planting schemes

As always, there’ll be plenty of opportunity to ask questions, get personalised advice, and browse our aquatic plant selection after the session with a 10% discount off all plants and potting that day.

This is a relaxed, practical, and inspiring workshop designed to help you better understand the living heart of every pond — the plants themselves.

Spaces are limited to keep the workshop personal and interactive, so early booking is recommended.

We look forward to welcoming you to Aqua Eden for an afternoon of planting, pond inspiration, and water gardening knowledge.
