Midwest Floating Island division offers man-made wetlands manufactured from recycled drinking bottles to improve water quality and to create wetland habitat in ponds and shallow lakes. You add your own native plants in the plant holes. These native wetland plants will grow long roots which hang below the 8 inch deep island. Our floating islands are used by city governments, homeowners, conservation groups, and others who want to help restore eco-systems.
