June 5th & 6th, 2004

Join us for our annual celebration of water gardening! Discover new lilies and lotus! Have you seen the new variegated corkscrew rush or the new 2 foot Egyptian papyrus? Learn and talk with our fantastic speakers. This year we are excited to have Paula Biles from Florida. Paula is the current executive director of the International Water Lily and Water Gardening Society. She is a dynamic speaker who has a wealth of knowledge and experience with water plants. Steve Miller is an area aquatic biologist and aquatic technician that has worked on a number of State projects involving wildlife. You will learn some practical tips and solutions to some of our "problem pond visitors". Talk with our visiting manufacturer reps and get your questions answered! Participate in an auction on Sunday and get some great deals on pond plants and donated pond products at great low prices! All this, plus some great discounts on selected products, make for a great weekend at Bergen Water Gardens!
