About Us


	Aquapic Water Garden Solutions and Aquapic Photo & Publish Solutions were set up in 1999 originally under the Aquapic Solutions banner which remains our trading name.

The principal is James Allison whose qualifications are in Biology (B.Sc. Hons) and Applied Aquatic Biology (M.Sc.).

He gained his hands-on experience in aquatics while managing of one of the UK’s leading independent firms supplying water garden equipment, plants and fish. During his time there he was in contact with customers, manufacturers, landscapers, plant growers, and fish producers, dealing directly with the import and healthcare of goldfish and koi.

James Allison’s involvement with aquatic writing includes eight years as editor of the International Waterlily and Water Gardening Society’s Water Garden Journal; over twenty years as a contributor to Practical Fishkeeping Magazine; and authorship of the book ‘Water in the Garden’. He is also recipient of the Garden Writers’ Guild ‘Water Garden Writer of the Year’ 2002, and has lectured widely on topics relating to water gardening and aquatic science.

Personnel and Scope

James Allison is personally involved in all projects and is assisted by a selected team of independent landscapers and aquatic specialists. In certain cases Aquapic has worked on projects with the customers’ own builders/landscapers. Construction work has majored on medium-sized pools, but projects, consultancy and maintenance work have been carried out on all sizes of water garden from small moulded pools up to lakes.

Regions covered

The office is based in the English Spa town of Cheltenham, on the edge of the Cotswolds.

Water garden project, equipment and filtration work is carried out in Gloucestershire and the surrounding counties of Wiltshire, Worcestershire, Herefordshire, Oxfordshire and Avon.

Consultancy work and presentations have been carried out for clients throughout the UK and also in North America and mainland Europe.
