    Amazing place!!! It's was worth to drive 200 miles and visit that amazing studio. Can't say in words how excite I was to see all those scapes just pure beauty. Anything you need to get started with aquascaping can buy here massive stock, top brands products and scaping section just can't go wrong with that. Definitely one of places that aquarium passionate person need to visit. I can highly recommend Aquarium Gardens 🌱🌱🌱💦💦💦💦💦

    First purchase this week and I was so pleased. The plants were so healthy and vibrant. It's got me thinking about replanting my other tank with more plants! Will definately be buying from them again.

    Cannot recommend a visit enough, being new to Aquatics I used the opportunity to ask and be guided without the feeling of pressure or as if I was an inconvenience which unfortunately I have experienced at other places. Dave was particularly helpful and I cannot thank you enough for your help, Will definitely return time time again and on a side note I have ordered online plants several times and have all arrived fresh and on time! Five Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

    Incredible place! I was setting up my first aquarium and was completely overwhelmed with aquascaping. The best decision I made was coming here! They guided me through the basics, listened to what I wanted, and helped get something that was right for me. I wasn’t rushed or pressured into making a decision, so when I left with my purchases, I felt so confident that I knew what I was doing. The plants are so healthy and have really started to establish themselves. Now my aquarium is fully set up and my fish look really happy, investing the plants and every nook in the driftwood! Absolutely over the moon and cannot thank Aquarium Gardens enough!

    Absolutely Amazing!!! Brilliant customer service as well as a super quick delivery service. Ordered a twinstar light (900ea) plus the dimmer/timer off their website and it came in no time. In addition, the quality of the light is unbelievably superb and the communication between the customer and staff is impeccable. GREAT WORK TO THE AG TEAM!!!!!

    Recently we travelled to the amazing aquarium store called aquarium Gardens located in huntingdon we usually shop online from the store but decided to take a trip to finally visit in person as we see photos and videos of it all the time on social media especially Instagram, Facebook and YouTube when we arrived and entered the shop we were welcome very warmly by the incredible knowledge staff the worked they introduced us to their phenomenal aquascaped talks blown away by the intense detail and hard work produced into there aquarium we stumbled across many of these shops aquaplaning falities to help you create your own aquascape these include a room purely dedicated to emerged submerged and even terrarium plants as well as a vast variety of hardcase materials which corporate many diverse and unique pieces of woods,rocks gravel and sand furthermore there is an area also dedicated to your dry goods involving many aquascaping tools filter and lighting as well as a collection of different plant care products such as fertilisers, root tabs and soils overall the whole experience was breathtaking and would recommend anyone to visit this impeccable aquascape store the shop was so clean and tidy staff also need applauding their knowledge and customer service skills

    Wow Just Wow. No really I mean Wow! This place is amazing I have never seen a shop like it. The display tanks are all absolutely stunning, they all look like they have come from a show. The staff are helpful knowledgeable and polite and happy to answer endless foolish questions. The stocks of tanks and equipment and supplies are amazing. The plants stocks are the best quality and variety I have ever seen anywhere. They also have a great range of rocks and wood, sadly their stock of ghastly brightly coloured awful tank ornaments is very poor.

    Bought my first hardscape and plants from aquarium gardens. All arrived very well packaged. The website made it very clear what I wanted to buy, great description on the type of plants from easy to more advanced level. The quality of services is top quality highly recommended.

    More than chuffed with my online order. All the plants were in mint condition. Ordered the classic nature style collection and it was like AG read my mind in terms of the plants I wanted. Will only ever order from them in the future.

    Making the trip to Aquarium Gardens far exceeded my expectations. The showroom is fantastic and gets your creativity soaring, and being well stocked allows you to achieve your vision. As total beginner I had some idea of what I wanted but the staff go far and beyond to make you feel comfortable to ask questions. Steven was fantastic and helped me pick out a variety of plants and not only did the amount fit the tanks space but met my budget exactly. I look forward to visiting again as there's no substitute to seeing the wood rock and plants in person.

  • 5/5 Sue H. 2 years ago on Google
    I have ordered from Aquarium Gardens for the first time after seeing them on social media. Well what can I say except WOW, the plants were a really good price, they arrived on time actually quicker than I expected! They arrived in absolutely fantastic condition as if I had picked them out myself, well packaged. The plants themselves were bigger than what I expected to get so definitely value for money and the root systems were well established, can't wait to see them get bigger in my aquariums. Will definitely buy from this company again.

  • 5/5 Dave M. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent place for aquarist, really excellent display tanks, and everything you will need if you are serious about the hobby, very helpful staff with a lot of advice, truly excellent

  • 5/5 Dean U. 2 years ago on Google
    Impeccable service and communication everytime, including (out of hours) via Facebook messenger and Instagram messenger. Professional, informal website. Helpful staff on the phone for advice and updates. Inspirational/educational YouTube content. Repeated outstanding quality on products I've personally ordered including aquatic plants, Twinstar LED light, glassware and filtration. I would give 100% feedback on this growing business.

  • 5/5 Mateusz G. 2 years ago on Google
    Visit to this store is not only shopping, it is an experience!! Very helpfull and knowledgable staff, great selection of stock and the best quality! 100% recommend and will be back for sure :)

  • 5/5 Richard C. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Ash real l. 2 years ago on Google
    Topnotch! Best store yet knowledgeable and helpful staff well worth the drive

  • 5/5 ashley w. 2 years ago on Google
    Ordered from aquarium gardens a few times now always good service. Last order was a large selection of plants and most came in good condition except for about 4 tropica 1.2 grow pots which were basically mush upon arrival which was a bit of a shame. Apart from that everything else was top notch. UPDATE* they were nice enough to contact me and offered to send me replacement plants for the ones that arrived in bad condition. Great customer service.

    Professional service

  • 5/5 Chris W. 8 months ago on Google
    Just had my order from aquarium gardens and the quality of everything is amazing. Delivered when promised and communication was excellent. But the star of this amazing company apart from the above, the PLANTS are nothing short of exceptional!! Best I’ve ever ordered and even seen. Most definitely won’t be my last order. Great job by all at aquarium gardens. Thank you

  • 5/5 Thomas L. 7 months ago on Google
    Small shop but a very good range of products, and reasonably priced too. Excellent selection of plants. Stunning display tanks. Staff were very friendly and helpful, I gained lots of useful advice. I will definitely be coming here in the future for all my aquarium products!

  • 5/5 Abby F. 7 months ago on Google
    I've ordered plants from the store's site twice now and both times have been a great experience. The plants always come in great condition and well packed, not to mention the fact that they're generally very inexpensive compared to aquatic plants from other stores. It genuinely feels like the business is run by hobbyists, for hobbyists. My only complaint is that they're too far away for me to come visit the store🥲😭

  • 5/5 Marcus H. 5 months ago on Google
    I visited for the first time today and it was certainly worth the 2hr drive. It could well be summed up as an aquascaper’s paradise. It’s the customer service that makes it that, though. You could have the same amazing range of products being sold by someone miserable and unhelpful and you wouldn’t want to go again. But they’re beyond obliging here. I shall return!

  • 5/5 Zain K. 8 months ago on Google
    Visited AG for the first time after seeing them for years on social media. Arranged a day with the well known aquascaper George Farmer where we met up here and designed my hardscape on their aquascaping dojo before going to my home to set it up and plant. It's possibly the best place for hardscaping with the vast amount of rocks and wood available and with the plants for sale helps give more ideas. My local fish shop has a dojo but very little hardscapes available which makes it difficult creating something that appreciates the dimensions of the tank. Would definitely go back whenever I may want to redo my scape. Want to thank Steve and Jay in Aquarium Gardens for the service and also keep an eye out on George Farmer's YouTube channel for an upcoming video on my scape 😁

  • 5/5 David N. 4 months ago on Google
    What a place!! I really enjoyed it. Some of the best aquascapes I've seen in real life actually. Dave is an awesome guy as well - very helpful. The selection of hardscape is amazing. I'll recommend this shop to everyone!

  • 5/5 Bob de B. 10 months ago on Google
    Brilliant Shop! I have ordered online a couple of times and popped into the shop once. The plants are very well looked after and arrives well package. This is the only shop you need for aquascaping needs

  • 5/5 Lewis C. 10 months ago on Google
    I mistakenly put the wrong address on my order which meant a loss of plants - the team were quick to call me and sort out the issue as soon as they could. Amazing, friendly customer service. This experience has ensured that I'll only shop with them in the future and i suggest you do the same!

  • 5/5 Tomasz L. 8 months ago on Google
    We drove an hour one way and it was totally worth it. Best selection of hardscape and incredibly helpful staff. I will definitely be back, if not in person then online.

  • 5/5 John H. 2 years ago on Google
    Bought some plants off these guys. The postman messed up and they never arrived. Contacted the store by email. Explained the plants none arrival, after checking the tracker and locating the house they were actually delivered to they sent me the order again FOC which arrived the next day. Oh and by the way the plants were first class.

  • 5/5 Matt C. 1 year ago on Google
    Drove an hour and a half to get there. Wasn't sure I was in the right place as it's tucked away and fairly unassuming from outside, but what an Aladdin's cave!! First thing through the door is the gallery with lots of stunning tanks packed in. However it doesn't stop there, the next room is packed with a huge variety of different types of wood and rocks all of various sizes. There are also scaping tables there to allow you to select and arrange the perfect hardscape materials. All the staff seemed friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed, allowing me to take my time, picking and arranging my scape materials. I'm not new to aquariums, but new to the world of aquascaping. Dave was amazing, he answered every question I threw at him (and there were a lot!) Everything from which substrates would compliment the rocks, to what plants I should pick with my lighting etc. Talking of plants, I thought they had a decent selection when I saw the Tropica cabinet in the first room, but then the scaping room had an entire wall of plants too! Honestly, I can't fault this shop, or the staff. I just wish it was a bit closer to me!

  • 5/5 Matteo G. 1 year ago on Google
    I’m impressed with the quality of the plants. I don’t normally purchase plants online because I want to pick the pretties and strongest in person as I’m very picky ahah. I gave it a try and all the plants I received were amazing!! Much better than those you see in the fish stores around London. The aquascapes they create in this place definitely reflect the love they have for the hobby and the aquatic plants.

  • 5/5 Kaz V. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place, the staff really know their subject and take the time to explain and suggest what's right for you. Amateur or expert, they have everything there, what ever you want to do. Prices are average, what you learn is priceless with lots of back up on line as well as the shop. Be prepared to be completely impressed by the tanks!

  • 5/5 Mrs C. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing plants! So healthy, look fabulous. Speedy delivery. Fantastic customer service. Cannot fault anything. Highly recommend! I will be buying all my plants from here from now on. Thank you Aquarium Gardens

  • 5/5 Mark M. 2 years ago on Google
    The customer care at Aquarium Gardens is unrivalled. Post-sales experience was great, and they even contacted me about a manufacturer alert of a potential fault in a power supply, and then sent me ann upgrade for free. There are quite a few competitors out there, but I highly recommend everyone come here for the close attention and personal service you receive.

  • 5/5 Jonathon L. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow! Was recommended to visit and have to say that anyone looking for plants and equipment this is definitely the place to go. Amazing range. Not the normal few plants chucked into a tank. Absolutely incredible. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Rate I give such good reviews 😜

  • 5/5 Ciaran 3 years ago on Google
    Always a pleasure shopping with these guys. They are happy help with any enquiries you may have. I've never had an issue with delivery and the plants are always in great condition. Highly recommend.

    The team at Aquarium Gardens are fantastic! They helped me design my scape and choice of plants, provided top quality equipment/plants and answered every technical question I had ( there were a lot of questions!) Thanks Dave and Steve, you should be proud of your shop and customer service.

  • 5/5 Tim O. 3 years ago on Google
    Im my opinion its hard to give 5* when everything goes well with a company... However, when i did have an issue Dave at Aquarium Gardens sorted it out straight away without a fuss. They offer a great range of quality products at competitive prices. Definitely a 5* business here.

  • 4/5 Sad C. 3 years ago on Google
    Ordered online some issues and it is basicly the best place to get specific aquarium plants.

  • 5/5 Groot 1. 4 years ago on Google
    Really helpful team that helped me design my new tank. There was no feeling of being rushed and nothing was too much trouble. I can not wait to start planting up my tank. Highly recommended.

  • 1/5 clara R. 3 years ago on Google
    Plants nice, Service bad. There was a blip when placing my order and it did not show as a confirmed order but stayed in my basket and appeared stuck. I therefor emptied the shopping basket and started again. Only to end up with 2 orders in one box with 2 delivery fees and a total of £88 of plants for my grandsons 30litre tank (just couldn't fit them all in). The company,after chasing them said they would not refund if plants came back in an unsaleable condition and that as the post takes so long this would be the case so I would be better of keeping them. Would have been nice if they had at least refunded one of the postage's seeing they were in the same box and there was obviously a glitch with the system while I was placing the order. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> After writing this review I have had half the postage refunded. However I would like to mention that contrary to the response from the company I did NOT receive an email explaining anything. I contacted company 3 times before writing review. I was ready to send back plants within 10 minutes of them arriving as I understand about sending living items by post. I also note that deliveries over £50 qualify for free delivery !!!

  • 5/5 Matija M. 3 years ago on Google
    Absolute brilliant customer service. Ordered twice from them and first time ordered plants for my new tank and arrived in perfect condition within 2 days from day of ordering (ordered after 6pm). Second time ordered fertilizer (order placed before 2pm) and arrived next day before 10am! Amazing, will definitely use them in future and would highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Richard B. 3 years ago on Google

    I've never used the shop as I live in cornwall but often order online for all sorts of supplies for my many tanks. Have bought alot from Aquarium Gardens this year alone. Always happy with the service. Plants are always in top condition and delivery is prompt and stuff is well packaged. The plants dont seem to melt back too much which is always a good sign. The website is easy to use. On the one occasion I did have an issue with a missing item in an order the guy on the phone couldn't have been nicer and it was sorted very quickly.

    They have a lovely display room. They have a very wide and plentiful range of hard scape. Brilliant wood, brilliant rocks. They have space available for you to assemble your scape. So you have the chance to make an educated choice when setting your aquarium up. Superb and very much a unique service. I cannot recommend enough. No other aquarium retailer I have been to offers a service like this. The staff were friendly and patient and offered brilliant advice. Thanks so much
