Prologue 

When I was a boy, everything was there. The world sparkled. 
Running around in that world, I could find countless numbers of dreams. 
I stuffed my pockets with dreams and took them home. 
There were dreams that I kept with me always, 
some I tucked away in my desk and forgot about, 
and some fell out of my pocket before I knew.
Dreams existed around me in many forms. 
I wanted to know the true identity of these dreams. 
Where did they come from? 
Why did they show up in front of me in various forms? 
I was totally absorbed by this world of endless dreams.

I finally found the answer to my questions many years later as I turned 60 years-old. 
I found what these dreams really meant, these dreams that had stayed with me all those years. 
Throughout my life, my boyhood dreams had waited for me to discover the answer.

  • Best UK Aquascaping

    Dave and the guys at Aquarium Gardens are without doubt the leaders in their field of Aquascaping. My wife and I have visited several times over the last couple of years and have always received fantastic advice and guidance. Two years ago we had one small tank, we now have three aquascapes all running CO2, this definitely wouldn’t be possible without all the support from the guys at Aquarium Gardens. Carry on doing what you’re doing because your business model is superb…..thanks once again Malcolm & Cheryl Orgill

  • Quick service, fantastic plants

    I have ordered from Aquarium Gardens for the first time after seeing them on social media. Well what can I say except WOW, the plants were a really good price, they arrived on time actually quicker than I expected! They arrived in absolutely fantastic condition as if I had picked them out myself, well packaged. The plants themselves were bigger than what I expected to get so definitely value for money and the root systems were well established, can't wait to see them get bigger in my aquariums. Will definitely buy from this company again.
