Lilypons Water Gardens

Not a «cheap» place, especially with fish and dry goods. Plants are usually very good as well as other items. I’ve got 3 ponds and don’t use them as much as I have in the past but usually make one big annual trip in May out there to «stock up» with plants, maybe some fish (I’ve always had bad luck with their fish and great luck with Petsmart’s $ 0.25 feeder fish), dry goods and just to fart around out in the country at such a beautiful place. We’ve also purchased some outdoor furniture from them as well.
If you go, take the «scenic» route…270 is the quickest but there are many other great areas to stop when coming from other directions/​routes. I always go out 28 from Potomac… takes a bit longer but much more peaceful. One of those roll down the windows, turn off the cell phone and relax kind of drives…

It’s almost like visiting a park or garden here. If you are heading to Harper’s Ferry or happen to find yourself in Western Maryland on your way to WVa, come here to see what water and fountains are capable of. The staff here will help you to design your own koi pond, lily pond, or other water feature for your piece of property. We just admired the cool things here and browsed the shop dreaming about the future homes and gardens of our dreams. I would go out of my way to visit this place again. A Frederick County institution since 1917, it’s like living history, with lily pads.
