The Bucks Mont Pond Garden Society and Aquatic Connections sponsored a twilight seminar with Gary Jones from Aquarium Pharmaceuticals (Mars Fishcare).
Gary presented a comprehensive pond care course in about two lively hours. He covered everything from seasonal maintenance to water quality basics. The presentation included a question and answer session and giveaways of PondCare/API products. A full house packed the outdoor garden.
Aquatic Connections by George nestles beside a busy highway in Trevose, Lower Bucks County, just north of Philadelphia. It comprises an aquatic garden center with some terrestrial plants, a full line pond store, a fish sales house, and complete pond design and project services.
Best of all, though, are the lovely demonstration ponds, which evoke tranquility even amid the din of the highways and the vistas of a dingy industrial/commercial area. Twilight is the perfect time to visit:
The Pond Society has already trekked out to the world famous Quality Koi Company in South Jersey, and plans another field trip next month, this time to Aquascapes Unlimited in Pipersville. Even a trip to Mars is on the cards for the future.
