Van Ness Water Gardens, Upland CA

Pond supplies are sometimes hard to find in the IE. Made the trip out here because I desperately needed some plants for our school pond after a professional clean out. It’s a strange location, but wow! So worth tracking down! It’s a specialty store, so be prepared for quality at a price. I bought a beautiful two gallon pink lily for $55, as well as some smaller plants. The owner asked about the application and I shared that we also have turtles in the pond. He warned me that they eat anything. It all looked beautiful, but he was right. The turtles had completely destroyed the Lilly I’ve a single weekend! Still, Van Ness offers a huge variety of beautiful and healthy pond plants and a wealth of information if you care to ask and listen. We’re working with experts to get the turtles’ and ponds needs met.
