Beautify and add interest to your pond or water garden

Thick with green growth and with the colorful spark of flowers a small floating Island will be an enchanting addition to any waterscape. Islands can be small enough for a water garden or large enough to help clean larger water ponds. There are no hard and fast rules of what size island to add; go with the number of islands that looks best! Attaching several islands together can look stunning in a backyard pond!


Natural improvement of water quality

Beyond being beautiful flourishing gardens that float in your pond floating Islands can be an effective tool in maintaining the health of water gardens and ponds. The island itself is constructed of a patented combination of materials that encourage the stabilization and efficient growth of plants and vegetation.

The plant root structures that grow through the floating island's substrate feed on nutrients in the pond. Since these nutrients often lead to algae, cloudy water or mucky buildup a floating island becomes a natural water filter, one that is not only natural and highly effective, but also extremely beautiful.

The roots and bio-film that grows on the bottom of the island are a tasty food for fish and the larger sized Islandscapes™ often become home to turtles and visiting waterfowl.

The unique matrix material of the island, a unique blend of re-cycled polyester fibres, actually allows plants to grow as if they were in rich soil. The roots of the plants absorb nutrients directly from the pond, reducing the phosphates and other nutrients in the pond while flourishing plants bloom on the floating island.

The small islands can provide shelter and nesting areas for birds, turtles and other pond creatures as well as shade and hiding places for fish underneath them!

Your Islandscape comes in a single box with a handle on the inner sleeve and contains the island, the growing media (special soil mixture), the tether ring for anchoring the island and complete planting instructions.
