POND STARS premiers on NAT GEO WILD on September 9, 2014!

FINALLY, Fish Ponds & Water Gardens will be on PRIME TIME!

Picture
This is an exciting time to be a Pond Builder or Hobbyist!  Many landscape and gardening programs have highlighted the use of Water Gardens in various settings, but none have really been able to capture the true artistry and holistic effects of the "Water Garden Lifestyle".  Backyard Ponds or water gardens have always taken a back seat to some other "Cool" component on the show, like an outdoor grill or gazebo, and the rest of the time is usually dedicated to the "Back Story" about the reason for the renovation.

A REALLY COOL POND SHOW!

Well, that's not what I want to see. I want to see Ponds and Water Features in the forefront! Maybe I'm a little biased, but now it seems that NAT GEO WILD is finally giving me (and every other pond enthusiast) what I want: A show about PONDS!!

So Who Are The Pond Stars From Aquascape Inc. ?

The stars of the show happen to be some of my friends and mentors in the Pond Industry that I've gotten to personally know and become buds with over the last 10 years. Greg Wittstock, Ed Beaulieu and Brian Helfrich from Aquascape Inc in St. Charles, Ill.
The Pond Stars
Greg, Ed and Brian are going to light up the screen with their funny hijinks and awesome pond building skills!
Certified Aquascape Contractor
Greg, Ed, Brian and a select group of CAC's built several water features for Disney's Epcot Flower & Garden Festival in 2008.
  I've been fortunate enough work side by side and learn something from each one of these guys on some awesome water features in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Disney's Epcot Center, The Shedd Aquarium, as well as many other places including my home state of New Jersey (NJ) that water gardening has taken me.  I can tell you first hand that these are some "Righteous Dudes"!

The Certified Aquascape Contractor (CAC) Connection

Another thing this show has going for it is the hundreds of Certified Aquascape Contractors (CAC's) that Greg, Ed and Brian have poured the time and passion for water features into to develop and teach everything they know about succeeding in the Water Feature Industry. CAC's are involved in every build on the show, and that's important, because these guys are traveling the country and need experienced craftsman they can rely on to make sure they can get these awesome transformations completed in time and done right! Our network of CAC's is also going to be a huge part of the promotion of the show through marketing efforts, blogs (like this one :) and social media.

Just Realeased Video Clips From NAT GEO WILD on The Pond Stars !

Atlantis Water Gardens from Denville, NJ has been aware of this show for over a year now, and we are just now permitted to share the information about The Pond Stars. The excitement for our friends and our industry is finally reaching a boiling point. Set your DVR's for Tuesday, September 9th at 10 PM on NAT GEO WILD!


Pond Stars Grubbin' It!



Beyond the Pond: Time for Turtles

Greg is hired to do his dream project, A Turtle rescue pond at The Gwinnett Environmental & Heritage Center just outside Atlanta Georgia. They've got just 5 days to complete this awesome project to be ready for the kids camp!
Chris is forced to stay true to his word when the guys find a big grub for him to eat.



Pond Stars : Screeching Halt

Ed might have jinxed everyone and brought the pond less waterfall installation to a screeching halt.

Atlantis Water Gardens Is A Member Of The Aquascape Foundation

I've gotten to know Ed Beaulieu pretty well over the years and the thing that stands out the most about him is his caring, giving personality. That's why it was no surprise to me to hear that he was spearheading the Aquascape Foundation with Carla Wittstock.

Atlantis Water Gardens Is A Go To Contractor For The Cousins !

The "ROCK STARS" at Atlantis Water Gardens have been involved in several HGTV shows in NJ with John & Anthony, the "Cousins", that had a Water Garden element incorporated into the project, but the focus has always been on the "Back Story" or "Overall Transformation" of the project, with the water feature becoming a part of the background.
