Aquascape kicks off Water Garden Weekend and the re-opening of its improved water gardening store with an official ribbon cutting at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday.
The international headquarters for Aquascape, the largest manufacturer and distributor of pond supplies in North America, sustained major damage to its parking garage when a portion of its 5-acre “green” roof—designed as an Illinois prairie complete with soil and native plants—caved in on Sunday, Feb. 13 in the wake of the Feb. 1, 2011 blizzard.
St. Charles mayor Don DeWitte will launch Water Garden Weekend with a ceremonial ribbon cutting for our improved water garden retail center. After the ribbon cutting there will be other festivities, which include:
