Water Garden Expo 2010 Set for February in New Location

Water Garden Expo 2010  is scheduled to take place Feb. 11-12 in Shawnee, Okla, USA.

This is the first year that the expo will be held at the Heart of Oklahoma Exposition Center, according to Pondliner.com, which decided to move the event from its Shawnee facility to the exposition center to accommodate the growing number of attendees.

Rick Bartel of the Savio Water Feature Institute will kick off the expo with a hands-on indoor pond-free waterfall construction class with emphasis on the RISE method. RISE stands for Random, Irregular, Spontaneous, Erratic—a natural rock and boulder placement technique.

The second day will include seminars with three educational tracts: water feature construction, successful business practices and general water garden knowledge.

The expo will also include a mini tradeshow and a roundtable discussion.

Admission to the Water Garden Expo 2010 is free, but limited to water garden contractors and dealers.
