 About Us
Water Garden Solutions

Water Garden Solutions was established in 1999 originally under the Aquapic Solutions banner

James Allison

James Allison, the Principal, has over thirty years expertise in aquatics. His passion for ponds and watergardens began in his youth, and led to qualifications in Biology (B.Sc. Hons) and Applied Hydrobiology (M.Sc.). Further practical experience proved invaluable in building a fuller understanding of the principles of well-balanced water garden ecology.

Managing one of the UK’s leading aquatic retailers gave James further hands-on skills in specifying water garden equipment, plants and fish, for projects by landscapers, garden designers, and homeowners.

Water Garden Solutions has been involved with construction projects, pump and filtration schemes, planting, consultancy, (and previously servicing), on all sizes of water gardens from water features in town gardens through to small lakes in the countryside.

The current business now concentrates on consultancy, with James Allison personally engaged in all projects, working alongside architects/designers, and customers’ own builders/landscapers.

Presentations

James lectures in the UK and internationally on topics relating to water gardening and aquatic science. He is an award-winning writer with past experience as editor of the International Waterlily and Water Gardening Society’s Water Garden Journal (’97-’04); as a contributor to Practical Fishkeeping Magazine (’86-’07); and as author of the book “Water in the Garden”.

Regions covered

The office is based in Cheltenham, on the edge of the Cotswolds.

On-site consultancy on water garden projects is carried out in Gloucestershire and the closer parts of the surrounding counties of Oxfordshire, Wiltshire, Worcestershire, Herefordshire, and Avon.

Consultancy work and presentations are also undertaken for clients throughout the UK and internationally.
