Beautify and add interest to your pond or water garden
Thick with green growth and with the colorful spark of flowers a small floating Island will be an enchanting addition to any waterscape. Islands can be small enough for a water garden or large enough to help clean larger water ponds. There are no hard and fast rules of what size island to add; go with the number of islands that looks best! Attaching several islands together can look stunning in a backyard pond!

Natural improvement of water quality
Beyond being beautiful flourishing gardens that float in your pond floating Islands can be an effective tool in maintaining the health of water gardens and ponds. The island itself is constructed of a patented combination of materials that encourage the stabilization and efficient growth of plants and vegetation.

The plant root structures that grow through the floating island's substrate feed on nutrients in the pond. Since these nutrients often lead to algae, cloudy water or mucky buildup a floating island becomes a natural water filter, one that is not only natural and highly effective, but also extremely beautiful.

The roots and bio-film that grows on the bottom of the island are a tasty food for fish and the larger sized Islandscapes™ often become home to trutles and visiting waterfowl.


New Pocket Design
Create a grassy turf island or cover your Islandscape with beautiful flowers - the new mini pocket design offers even more possibilities for you to use creative planting techniques.

Leave the pockes in the island for turf and seed configurations or pop them out and voila - a perfect planting hole for your plants!

The unique matrix material of the island, a unique blend of re-cycled polyester fibres, actually allows plants to grow as if they were in rich soil. The roots of the plants absord nutrients directly from the pond, reducing the phosphates and other nutrients in the pond while flourishing plants bloom on the floating island.

The small islands can provide shelter and nesting areas for birds, turtles and other pond creatures as well as shade and hiding places for fish underneath them!

Your Islandscape comes in a single box with a handle on the inner sleeve and contains the island, the growing media (special soil mixture), the teher ring for anchoring the island and complete planting instructions.

Recommended Plant Species
Islandscapes can grow almost anything - use your imagination and let your passion dictate your planting! Herb gardens, terrestrial flowers, shrubs and trees have all been grown on these incredible islands. Nourished by a steady supply of fresh water, bare plant roots are planted directly into specially prepared Islandscape Soil Blend, enough of which is Included with every island. As for choosing plants, there are now hard and fast rules, indigenous plants work well but so do a wide variety of species including the following:

Marginal Species:
Willows - Cattails - Horsetail - Water Celery - Bluebells

Edible Species:
Lettuce - Strawberry - Snap Peas- Zinnia - Basil

Ornamental Species:
Amaryllis - African Violet - Water Iris ... any many more; experiment and have fun!

ISLANDSCAPE™ FLOATING ISLANDS
By adding a floating island and a combination of aeration and beneficial bacteria to the same pond or lake you can see dramatic improvements in pond water quality. Islands are ideal for municipalities or in commercial applications where harsh chemicals are not an option but a water treatment program is required.

A small floating island lush with plants.Freedom Islandscapes Floating Islands are on the cutting edge of water quality maintenance and pond beautification and are now available through CanadianPond.ca Products Limited. The floating islands use the basic principles of hydroponics to clean ponds via the filtration effects that plants offer. BioHaven floating islands are available in sizes ranging from 25 square feet for small koi ponds and water gardens with standard sizes up to 250 square feet. Islands can be attached together to create larger areas.

Root structures penetrate the materials of the floating island and absorb surplus nutrients from the pond or ecosystem providing a natural cleansing of the pond. Islandscapes Floating Islands use patented materials and designs, making them the only choice for any serious pond owner wanting to add a small island to help clean the pond and provide the enjoyment of gardening. Islands can be attached together to create larger areas and interesting "island chains".



Beautify and add interest to the waterscape
Thick with green growth and with the colorful spark of flowers a Floating Island will be an enchanting addition to any waterscape. Islands can be small enough for a water garden or large enough to help clean larger water bodies. The pond cleaning powers of the island are increased with aeration systems and bio-augmentation.

Floating islands overcome many of the disadvantages and limitations of current biotechnology for natural water purification. By providing an expandable biological process to include wetland plants perched in artificial substrate, add-on super airlift biofilters, add-on subsurface aeration and a regimen of microbial supplements, the technology efficiently and effectively breaks down aquatic pollutants in ponds.

Built of recycled polymer matrix bonded with marine foam, the Islandscape Floating Island creates a super-enhanced floating habitat. Water can circulate through the body of the island and plant roots can grow through it. C
ompared to earthen islands, the BioHaven Wild Floating Islands are lighter, easier and less expensive to install, allow plants to establish faster, and can extend the growing season.
