About Devon Pond Plants
Devon Pond Plants is an independent specialist nursery based in South Devon, dedicated exclusively to pond plants, waterside plants and species suited to damp environments. Founded and run by lifelong plantsman David Kerr, the business has spent more than three decades growing and supplying high-quality aquatic plants to gardeners, landscapers, wildlife enthusiasts and commercial projects throughout the UK.
Unlike many online suppliers, Devon Pond Plants focuses on supplying mature, well-established plants that have been overwintered and acclimatised to outdoor conditions, helping customers achieve better establishment and healthier ponds. Alongside an extensive range of aquatic plants, customers benefit from practical, impartial advice gained through decades of hands-on experience, ensuring they choose the right plants for their pond or landscaping project.
