We’re excited to announce the return of our much-loved Spring Splash Open Day, happening April 18th from 10-3pm! After the success of last year’s event, we’re bringing it back, packed with even more inspiration to get your garden and pond ready for the season ahead.
Spring is the perfect time to refresh your outdoor space, and our Open Day is designed to help you do exactly that. Whether you’re an experienced pond keeper or just starting to explore the idea of adding water to your garden, there’ll be something here for you.
Throughout the day, we’ll be hosting a series of free, informal 20-minute talks and demos, perfect for picking up practical advice without feeling overwhelmed. Topics will include caring for aquatic plants, keeping your pond healthy, and a hands-on repotting plants demonstration—ideal if you’re looking to give your pond a fresh boost this spring.
Our team will be on hand all day to chat through your ideas, offer tailored advice, and help you plan your next project—whether that’s a simple container pond or a full garden transformation. If you’ve been considering a bigger build, this is a great opportunity to have a relaxed, no-pressure conversation and explore what’s possible.
Inside the shop, you’ll find a wide range of aquatic plants, water treatments, and pond-building kits, along with plenty of inspiration to take home. It’s also a great chance to see products up close and get honest recommendations from people who use them every day.
To make the day even more enjoyable, you can grab a coffee next door and take your time browsing, learning, and soaking up the atmosphere. We’re aiming to create a welcoming, friendly space where you can ask questions, get inspired, and connect with others who share an interest in wildlife-friendly gardening.
Whether you pop in for a quick visit or stay for the talks, we’d love to see you there. Mark your calendar, bring your questions, and get ready to kick off the season with us at the Spring Splash Open Day!
No need to book, just turn up on the day.
