What is a Flo Garden?

A Flo Garden looks like it has always been there…

Where there is water there is life

Rocks + Native Plants + Native Fish + Quality Pond Products

A Flo Garden is a natural ecosystem, replicating our local endemic creeks and streams.  A new home for endangered fish species and native plants who’s ecosystems are threatened by continual development.   

How does the water stay clean?  

A mechanical (skimmer) and biological (waterfall, natural healthy bacteria, fish, plants) filtration system. Water is constantly flowing/ being pumped through the system so that it is continually passing through the filtration system and over the falls - cleaning and aerating the water.  ‘Moving water’ benefits include: no mosquitoes, clean & clear water.  

A Flo Garden is fast to construct, cheap and easy to maintenance and chemical free. An inexpensive, almost instant way to transform your backyard into a thriving ecosystem. 

A Flo Garden supports life and reflects a healthy ecosystem.  

A Flo Garden natural pool is relatively inexpensive when compared to construction cost of other swimming pool designs. One major difference in our construction method is that Flo Gardens don’t use concrete in any of their builds. This cuts cost down dramatically in comparison to other pool companies that do. The use of concrete does not fit our ethos as not only is the manufacturing process resource heavy, concrete contains chemicals that leach into the ground and everything that enters the soil eventually end up in our waterways.

Flo Gardens are passionate about biodiversity and protection against habitat loss. We stock our natural pools, ponds and water features with species native to this region. Plants are an important part of the ecosystem and are not only functional (shade, food, habitat etc.) and aesthetically pleasing but are essential for the water purification/ filtration process in our Flo Gardens. 

Flo Gardens staff are highly qualified Horticulturists and Bush Regenerators (native plant and ecosystem experts) and plant selection and placement is one of our specialities. We select plants according to your region/ climate, soil type and how you intend to use the space. In addition to native plants, we also grow other species suitable for inclusion in your Flo Garden - medicinal plants, a wide variety of bromeliads, herbs and vegetables.  

We stock our natural pools, ponds and water features with endangered or threatened local fish species native to this region. Fish are am important part of the ecosystem and are not only aesthetically pleasing but are an essential part of the water purification process in our Flo Gardens.
