Nat Geo Wild debuts ‘The Pond Stars’
WARWICK — The mere fact that someone you know is going to star in their own reality TV show is exciting. The idea that the show has the possibility of helping grow your industry has created a ton of excitement at Garden State Koi & Aquatic Center in Warwick.
Nat Geo Wild is debuting "The Pond Stars" on Tuesday, Sept. 9. It will show that a backyard is a terrible thing to waste, especially when it has the potential to invigorate the surrounding ecosystem. What’s a homeowner to do? Beginning this fall, they can call the Pond Stars – a group of some of the world’s best pond builders, who can turn any barren plot into an attractive, inspirational and even, healing oasis.
Why the excitement here in Warwick?
The Pond Stars happen to be led by Greg Wittstock of Aquascape Inc. Garden State Koi & Aquatic Center is Aquascape's largest independent distributor and retailer in North America.
From the wetlands of Northern Florida to the mountains surrounding California’s San Gabriel Valley, Nat Geo Wild's latest series introduces viewers to a new type of behind-the-scenes adventure and a number of furry, feathered and scaled critters. Led by longtime pond expert Wittstock, or “The Boss,” the team uses its unique expertise and appreciation for the outdoors to tackle these challenging assignments.
Wittstock successfully developed a childhood hobby into Chicago-based Aquascape Inc., North America’s leading supplier of water gardening supplies. He is joined in season 1 by co-workers and outdoor enthusiasts Ed Beaulieu (“The Scientist”), Brian Helfrich (“The Foreman”) and Chris Hanson (“The New Guy”). Together, the team presents more than 75 years of experience in the business, having spent decades both training and educating on backyard redesign. Each team member brings a distinct expertise and personality to the series’ transformations and plays a pivotal role in reconnecting clients with the nature around them.
It doesn't just happen on "The Pond Stars." Garden State Koi & Aquatic Center can help transform your backyard. They service homeowners and contractors in the Hudson Valley, Northern New Jersey and Pennsylvania and are located at 657 Route 94 in Warwick.
