 The aesthetic qualities of BioHavens make them an ideal choice for an innovative waterscape, while delivering excellent water quality benefits. There have been many installations in Botanic Gardens and public parks, as well as private ponds. Please see the Gallery section of our website for selection of beautiful garden installations.
 Vegetable gardens
BioHaven Floating islands make wonderful vegetable gardens! Imagine in the heat of summer being able to go away and not have to worry about constant watering? Having a garden that's virtually weed-free, lush, with a longer growing season, and which is just out of reach of rabbits, deer and other grazers. And best of all, the fruit is always plump!
Floating gardens are easy to plant, easy to maintain and easy to harvest. Just tie it off to the shore and pull it in. Or incorporate a walkway to make it even easier.
And know that while you are enjoying wonderful produce, you're doing your bit to clean up our polluted waterways??...
*Plants take all their water from underneath
*They take nutrients from the water
*The water gets cleansed in the process
*Longer growing season
*Less competition from other animals
Mike says...
"I started a small island with lettuces in the greenhouse. Two weeks ago, I put it in the pond. The plants on the island are now double the size of the greenhouse plants."

Cynthia says...
"I normally can?t go away in the heat of summer without losing my tomatoes - this is a brilliant and practical solution!"
Cynthia Low, NZ
Imagine an island planted with low-growing herbs around the edges, and a profusion of tomatoes, chilies, peppers, zucchini and your favorite vegetables growing in the centre!
Or perhaps the orderliness of a garden wheel is to your liking...this island can be divided into sections which you can plant symmetrically, like a French garden.
Flowers or produce, herbs or wildflowers? You are in charge! You can sow seeds or plant bedding plants. You can leave it to grow au naturel or tend it carefully.
We recommend blending worm castings with BioMix to act as an organic and water-safe fertilizer.
Please note, well aerated water is essential for the growth of non-wetland plants, such as fruits and vegetables.
