I don’t even know where to start!! Such a beautiful and warm space, amazing variety of lotus and carnivorous plants, and their greenhouses are PACKED with amazing goodies!! Every plant is extremely healthy, and very fairly priced compared to lots of others I’ve seen across the internet. I love everything about this place, Lily and Larry are some of the most generous people I’ve had the chance of meeting and they are such a sparkling gem in the local plant community! Can’t get enough of them!💕
My new favorite place! It’s really a hidden gem! So many aquatic plants and fish to choose from! Also, a big thank you to the older gentlemen who helped me and gave me great advice for my pond and plants, defiantly knew his stuff. Thank you so much and hope to see you guys again soon!
Love visiting this place! They have a really amazing selection of carnivorous and water plants, as well as garden supplies, and koi for your pond. Owners are extremely friendly and helpful and can help you find the right plant for your experience level and growing conditions. Its the only place in western NY that you can shop for specialty plants like nepenthes in person. I would highly recommend checking this place out in person.
Bergen Water Gardens has an amazing selection of carnivorous plants and lotus flowers. You wont find a better selection anywhere else. Everything is reasonably priced and you can tell Larry and Lily really care for their plants.They are also extremely knowledgeable about koi fish and koi fish ponds. Go and check out their selection. You won’t regret it!
I am from Buffalo NY, thought it was further away, was there in less than an hour. It was worth the drive tenfold. Honestly, I never write reviews, but the staff was so helpful and knowledgeable, I wanted to encourage others to visit.The koi selection was the best I have ever seen, despite visiting dozens of locations and collecting for a decade. Their Hi Utsuri were spectacular. Not super large koi, but very, very rare stock.Plant selection was massive. I became a Lotus Flower admirer today thanks to BWG&N. My new Yaochi is the new centerpiece of my gazibo.
This place is INCREDIBLY beautiful and the owners are AWESOME! They have such beautiful lotuses, waterlilies, and super cool carnivorous plants. Want water plants? Go here! Want beautiful East Asian pots to put them in? Go here! Want Koi fish or a pond set-up? Seriously. Go here. It’s so cool.
Order a bunch of Nepenthes from this wonderful company. The service is excellent combined with their rapid response to any questions/requests makes shopping online with them most enjoyable. They have a very large selection of tropical pitcher plants at a very good price. All items were shipped fast and packed with proper shipping items like heat pack and packing peanuts. I would highly recommend ordering from them for tropical pitcher plants (nepenthes)!!!
I recently received a few amazing plants from Bergen Water Gardens and I am very impressed with the health and size. I was planning on making a visit to pick up my plants but due to holiday family stuff and some bad weather, I was unable to make it. They were super cool and sent my plants well packaged and they arrived no problem even though it was snowy and freezing out. I highly reccomend Bergen. One of the best selections, very happy plants, and very nice people.
Love this place. Visited from Cincinnati Ohio with my sister. Its the 3rd time in 4 years. The variety is huge and the owners are so knowledgeable. I cant wait to plant my new lilies in my new pots. I finally got an amazonian Victoria. Thanks Larry for letting this baby go! Even if you are not a water gardener, you will love the beauty of these gorgeous flowers. Is a must see place! Thanks for all your help Lily Liu
Recently went and visited will have to check out in spring and summer. Inside I was pleasantly surprised by the selection of pitcher plants HOLY GOODNESS! being an orchid individual is what attracted me. If your anywhere in the area and want to get out of the cold or just explore a greenhouse check this place out!
It is amazing place for your water gardening and get some awesome Nepenthe, and they are the biggest lotus collection in USA , there are over 400 different varieties lotus at this nursery, and enjoying lotus flower will be at the middle of August! Now there are a lot new varieties of Carnivorous Plant at Bergen Water Garden, special Nepenthe which is very cool and unique!!!
Larry gave an excellent presentation to the Lancaster County Garden Club last evening on “Chinese Lotus: Cultivation, Culture & Cuisine” explaining why Lotus are an integral part of Chinese history, religion and diet. Beautiful Lotus pictures and videos of Chinese Water Gardens ... fabulous !!!Lancaster County Garden Club

2022-05-30I have made a trip to the gardens annually for 7-8 years. Each year brings increasing awe as Lily and Larry keep adding greenhouses and more water garden beds. The carnivorous plants - Sundews, Pitcher plants, Venus Flytraps are too numerous to count. Orchids and lotus are spectacular. Well worth a road trip.

2021-06-12I am so glad I found this gem of a nursery! The owners, Larry and Lily, are always helpful with any questions I have and take their time with me - I’ve never felt rushed. I’ve always felt very comfortable leaving with every plant I’ve bought from them. They have lots of different kinds of carnivorous plants ranging in prices (literally something for everyone’s budgets from less expensive common plants to rare higher price point plants), and we are very fortunate to have a nursery that has some very rare specimens available at reasonable prices. They have the largest selection of lotus available outside of China, and are known for their beautiful displays in the summer when the lotus are in bloom. I really appreciate the passion they have for their business!

2021-06-12I’ve been to Bergen many times, it’s an amazing spot for carnivorous plants especially! Every plant I’ve purchased has been fairly priced and wonderfully healthy. They even have my favorite giant koi fish. Lily and Larry are the best!!

2021-03-06These people are wonderful to do business with! Not only were their prices great, their free shipping was extremely fast. The order was carefully packed with a little personalized note from Li Li, thanking me for my business. Even the UPS driver was smiling when he delivered it, imagine that in these times! They also patiently answered each question that I had even though my order wasnt huge. They obviously care about their customers, a rare thing! Contrast that with a different seller that I just ordered from, from whom I ordered lotus tubers three full weeks ago which have just barely arrived, and who also wont answer a simple question even though I emailed it twice... and who only sent part of my order. From now on I will ONLY do business with Bergen Water Gardens and I think you would very happy if you did too!

2021-06-12The owners are so helpful at helping to pick out plants that are suitable for my growing conditions. They have so much knowledge and patiently answer all of my questions in person or over the phone. The stores selection is unlike any other nursery in the northeast, and their quality and prices cant be beat even when comparing to online plant vendors.
