公司概况
William Tricker, Inc.（威廉·特里克水景公司）是美国历史最悠久的水生花园商店，1892 年由水景园艺先驱 William Tricker 创立，如今坐落于俄亥俄州 Independence。历经一个多世纪的经营，公司在其历史悠久的温室中培育出众多优良睡莲、荷花及其他水生植物，是水生植物栽培与水景用品供应领域的领导者。
历史沿革
创始人 William Tricker 于 1853 年出生于英国，曾在著名的邱园（Kew Gardens）接受园艺训练，1885 年移居美国。他率先在美国推广商业化睡莲栽培，并于 1892 年推出第一本 William Tricker 目录，这一传统延续至今。1927 年公司在俄亥俄州 Independence 正式注册为 William Tricker, Inc.，其历史园区已被美国内政部国家公园管理局列入《国家史迹名录》，成为国家历史街区。
主营业务
公司业务涵盖水生植物、水景用品与户外装饰三大板块，具体包括睡莲、荷花等水生花卉、锦鲤与观赏鱼、水质处理与水生肥料、种植容器、过滤器材、水泵配件、建池材料，以及 Gardecor® 品牌的户外装饰和独立的水族商店，为水景爱好者提供一站式产品与服务。
水生植物专长
William Tricker 自 19 世纪便开始杂交培育睡莲，通过跨品种育种丰富花形、花色并增强耐寒性，从而在水生植物栽培界树立声誉。今日公司仍向水景园艺爱好者、湿地修复承包商以及植物园供应色彩斑斓的睡莲与荷花，并保存着珍稀的 1892 年原版目录等水景历史文物。

Company Overview
William Tricker, Inc. is America’s oldest water garden store, established in 1892 by water gardening pioneer William Tricker and now based in Independence, Ohio. With over a century of experience, the company has propagated superior water lilies, lotuses and other aquatic plants in its historic greenhouses, making it a leading grower of aquatics and supplier of water garden products.
History
Founder William Tricker was born in England in 1853 and trained at the famous Kew Gardens before immigrating to the United States in 1885. He became a founder of commercial water lily culture in America and introduced the first William Tricker catalog in 1892, a tradition still carried on today. The business was incorporated as William Tricker, Inc. in 1927 in Independence, Ohio, and its historic grounds are listed in the National Register of Historic Places as a National Historic District.
Main Business
The company spans aquatic plants, water garden supplies and outdoor decor, offering water lilies and lotuses, koi and pond fish, water quality treatments and aquatic fertilizer, planting containers, filter materials, pumps and fittings, pond-building materials, Gardecor® outdoor decor and a dedicated aquarium store — a one-stop resource for water gardening enthusiasts.
Aquatic Plant Expertise
William Tricker began hybridizing water lilies in the 1800s, cross-breeding them to introduce new shapes and colors and to enhance hardiness, earning a reputation as a lead grower of aquatic plants. Today the company still supplies colorful water lilies and lotuses to water gardeners, wetland-restoration contractors and botanical gardens, and preserves rare relics including an original 1892 Tricker catalog.
Visiting and Ordering
The physical store is currently closed to walk-in customers while undergoing renovations over the next few years, though it retains its National Historic District designation. Customers in Ohio and adjacent states may choose local pickup after ordering online. Detailed opening hours, seasonal shipping schedules and contact information are posted on the official site, which visitors are encouraged to consult before traveling or ordering.
