About us

The UK Aquatic Plant Society (UKAPS) was formed in 2007 by a small but passionate group of planted aquarium and aquascaping enthusiasts.

The UKAPS mission is to promote all aspects of the aquarium plant hobby and art of aquascaping.

The UKAPS Forum is the central hub of activity where thousands of members enjoy sharing and learning with like-minded hobbyists, no matter their background and experience levels.

Newcomers to the hobby are actively encouraged and will receive expert advice from more experienced plant growers and aquascapers.

UKAPS hosts some of the world’s most respected names in the hobby and is known as one of the most valuable aquarium plant and aquascaping resources worldwide.

UKAPS members host various informal meetings with members across the UK either in homes or at retailers. UKAPS also attends more formal events and exhibitions, nationally and internationally.

• RHS Chelsea Flower Show
• Hagen Trade Show
• Festival of Fishkeeping
• Aquatics Live (London)
• The Art of the Planted Aquarium Contest (Germany)
