Bennetts Water Gardens creates a stunning aquatic paradise featuring eight acres of Japanese-style water gardens, pools, and streams filled with koi carp, water lilies, and aquatic plants. This specialist water garden showcases hundreds of varieties of water lilies in spectacular summer displays, along with marginal plants, bog gardens, and waterside plantings. Ornamental bridges, Japanese maples, bamboo groves, and carefully positioned rocks create authentic Oriental garden aesthetics. The gardens double as one of Britain’s largest aquatic plant nurseries, offering expert advice and plants for pond enthusiasts. Meandering paths wind between interconnected pools where enormous koi carp glide beneath lily pads. The peaceful sound of flowing water and tranquil atmosphere make this a perfect escape from everyday life. Peak bloom time in summer sees the gardens ablaze with colorful water lily flowers. The on-site garden center stocks everything for water gardening.
