Moore Water Gardens - Port Stanley, Ontario

This team was so knowledgeable. I learned how to care for the plants we purchased, even into the winter.
They made sure we got plants that would suite our pond, and our lifestyle.
We got the pick of the heartiest plants and even Emmy voluntarily went looking for a better stock to ensure I got what we wanted.

Jane was able to answer any and all questions about the plants. Even the ones we were only curious about.

The kids LOVED their ‘adopted’ turtle.

I highly recommend this place!

So beautiful! Honestly if you need any exotic plants or flowers... Come here to ask about it! They know how to find unique plants! Great place to buy your water garden needs!

We’ve been working with Moore Water Gardens for over a decade, and Farley has been a tremendous resource throughout that time. His knowledge of water plants and water garden care is second to none. Farley’s passion and expertise are evident in everything he does, and visiting his property—where he grows and curates an exceptional variety of water plants—is an experience in itself.

In a world where it’s often easier to hear why something can’t be done, Farley always finds a way to make it happen. His can-do attitude, deep understanding of water gardening, and commitment to customer service make him a true professional.

If you’re looking for quality plants, expert guidance, and an unwavering commitment to helping your water garden thrive, we highly recommend Farley and Moore Water Gardens.

I have been in search for lotus in Ontario and been driving 4 hours to Keith McLean Conservation Area to visit lotus pond which I thought was the only lotus pond in Canada-well I am glad I was wrong! The lotus ponds in Moore Water Gardens are more beautiful and stunning and totally worth 2 hours' driving from Toronto. If I have a pond in my backyard, I will definitely buy some here and grow my own lotus pond. The staff was super friendly.

Kristin and her team at Moore Water Gardens were extremely helpful in finding exactly what I was looking for (Acorus calamus, non-variagated) and getting me this order in a special, small shipment in an efficient and economical manner. Since I didn't live nearby, they shared their inventory over the phone and emailed me photos of what was in-house so I could select what I needed for an event. I was pleasantly surprised that the plants shipped just fine in a compact box. After unpacking, they're growing healthy and hardy. I'm thankful to the team for going the extra mile with my custom order!

While on a little journey to Port Stanley, Ontario, we came across Moore Water gardens without knowing who or what they were.
We discovered a wonderland of aquatic plants of all kinds of varieties.
We have a small backyard pond, and over the years - our water plants purchased at other garden centres never quite made it, so we thought we should see what Moore had to offer.
The facility is a huge garden centre dedicated to water plants for all types of ponds, gardens.
They have dozens of ponds full of beautiful water lilies, hyacinths, lettuces, and so much more. Tropical plants as well.
In addition to whats for sale, they also have a growing field that you can walk around and explore - but do not fall in.

The prices of their plants are a bit more than you might pay at the big box stores, but trust me - the quality of these plants is exceptional. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and they are eager to assist you with all of your questions. They know their stuff, what kind of plants are good for your specific ponds/gardens, etc.

Moore's Water Gardens is the first place you should go when you are looking for water plants for your pond.

The transaction started well, Dana was responsive and readily answered questions I had. However, plants were not received in good condition and there was miscommunication along the way. Disappointing for such a long operating nursery. Do not recommend their shipping service.

1. The shipping quote should have been part of the order sheet or invoice or whatever Dana wanted to call it. It would be have been easier to read, and not as some after thought in the email body. It came as a surprise that the figure in the quote/invoice was not the amount paid. Also, the number was not confirmed verbally prior to giving payment.

2. I asked for a full invoice and Dana said a full invoice would be generated after shipping (which was to be Monday June 6). I didn't get an invoice until I asked for it (Wednesday June 8), and no tracking information was provided until I also asked for it. I had no idea it was shipped or when it would arrive. Good thing I happened to be home during arrival.

3. The packaging of the plants show an absolute lack of care. There is no warning stickers on the exterior of the box to indicate that it's a fragile package, or that there's live plants, or that it should be kept right side up. The post office delivery guy literally tossed it on its side on my door step. Once I opened the box, I noticed there is no individual packaging, insulation, or any sort of plant protection. They just layed on top of each other, and some had fallen out of their pots. Leaves were crushed. Also want to mention the plants were absolutely soaked and heavy with water.

As a plant seller myself who often ships across Canada, if I shipped plants like this I would be out of business. If you had no experience shipping plants, this should have been communicated so that we could have either provided instructions, or chose not to order accordingly.

The plants are in an atrocious condition, and this is not the quality befitting of a long time nursery. I will not be recommending your nursery or services to anyone in the plant community. Your quality of work will speak for itself.

If you have a water garden and you have not tried Moore Water Gardens, then you are seriously missing out. Wonderful plants and plant arrangements and the facility is beautiful. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Kids can enjoy feeding the Koi fish (with permission) there are lots of frogs and turtles too. We always make Moore Water Gardens, Mackie’s and Shaws Ice Cream as part of a brilliant day out.
