Pondless Waterfall

    One of our greatest ventures yet.  Joe Granada of Star Ridge Aquatics  visited to demonstrate the installation of a pondless waterfall. This type of water feature is perfect for those who don’t care for the total water garden experience, but would like to introduce the sight and sound of falling water into the landscape or garden. Joe, a graduate of the horticulture program at Sandhills Community College, has more than 12 years of experience in the aquatics industry. Joe is the guy in blue. We think that he's awesome.

Wow! and we're not even finished yet.
