    Degsy - Try Newlands Garden Centre in Newlands Cross good range of well cared for water plants.

    Relatively easy and near Tully Nurseries. Best driving along M50, take exit M1 (Belfast), continue driving and take exit for Lusk/Donabate. Follow signs for Lusk. Continue on main road (Old Belfast road), pass turn off for Lusk, take first left after the Esso Station. Continue for 1000yards and take first right (You should see signs for Tully's and Pond Hobby). Continue for 500 yards, Pond Hobby on righthandside.

    You can always ring PH for directions:p

    I can honestly say that I got lost each and every time I tried to go to Pond Hobby!
    It's a great place, though, I got lots of plants there and the liner and underlay for my pond, too.
    I think it's not open every day at this time of the year, but if you phone ahead the guy will be there to meet you.
    Well worth a visit. :)

    Theres a sign post for it at the turn for Tulleys Nurserie.

    You keep ion driving up the road,past Tulleys on your right and the pond place is up the road about another 500-600 yards.

    You cant miss it,as theres also a sign in the front garden area of the place too.;)

    It's there alright!
    Just give yourself plenty of time (and patience!) to find it.
    As I said, phone them a day or 2 in advance, then keep the number with you when you're driving and ring them if you get lost.
    I've been through all this, it is worth it. :)
