Grandora Aquatics specializes in the propagation, production and supply of water lilies, both hardy and tropical, lotus, hardy and tropical shallow water plants, floating and oxygenating plants. Founded in 2009 by Louise and Nigel Hill, the company is located two miles south of Highway 14, a short 15 minute drive from the city limits of Saskatoon. A map is included here with detailed driving instructions.
Grandora Aquatics operates a heated greenhouse housing a heated production pond and currently over two thousand square feet of out door ponds, which are deep enough to overwinter the hardy water lilies, lotus and shallow water plants. The ponds and production facility are open to the public during the summer months by appointment only.
The Hills have cultivated water lilies and aquatic plants for over 25 years at their acreage in Grandora but it is only since the formation of Grandora Aquatics that their plants have been available to the general public. The company intends to market plants through the Saskatoon Farmers Market and various garden centre's throughout the province.
A wide range of plants are available and information to help in the planting, cultivation and fertilizing of them can be accessed through the menu on the left hand side of the page. Sections also cover some of the common problems faced by water gardeners, overwintering plants and some suggested solutions.
