Spring has finally arrived and we have published our calendar of events and seminars!
We are kicking the season off with a Pond Clean Out Seminar on April 18th. Following that, we’re offering seminars to help you get started with pond ownership, hands-on build a pond and pondless days, as well as informational seminars about pond fish and plants.
Bay State Aquascapes will hold a Build-A-Pondless Waterfall hands on class at Flowerland Garden Center’s 4th Annual Fall Festival on October 6th.
Come get your hands dirty and learn how to build your very own pondless waterfall.
This class will give you the insight, knowledge and hands on experience to create beautiful cascading waterfalls for your backyard paradise or front yard curb appeal.
Our 2nd pond tour for 2007 is only a month away! All proceeds to benefit Learn Live Love, a breast cancer outreach organization whose mission is to provide financial assistance, informational resources, and personal support to women and families in our local communities who are experiencing the devastation of breast cancer.
If you are looking for a bite to eat True Blue BBQ is now open for the season. Want some ambience while your dining? Grab a seat out by the pond! Stop by Wednesday through Sunday or give them a call and let them cater your next event or get-together.

Bay State Aquascapes is rocking and rolling…boulders, wheelbarrows and trucks are all over south eastern Massachusetts. With the onset of Summer, the spring cleanouts are still getting done. If you have neglected your pond, give us a call so we can get it done now. We are still scheduling cleanouts to get rid of all that pond scum to ensure happy and healthy ponds for the summer.
We have all the pond supplies you need too! New fish are arriving weekly, but don’t rush, we are quarantining all new fish for 2 weeks. Water Hyacinth and Water Lettuce are flying out the door! As are marginals, tropicals and water lilies. Our hardy lotus will be arriving any day now, keep an eye out for the new and unusual varieties. Stop by and feel free to browse all of our new selections of fish and plants.
Our Calendar is full through the middle of July, which brings us to Pondemonium. We will be traveling out to Aquascape in St. Charles, IL, again this year for their annual conference and we are excited to learn more and see all the new and different ideas in the pond industry.
Spring is underway at Bay State Aquascapes and we are busier than ever! Our hands-on seminars such as Build-A-Pond days have been huge successes! We are also getting great turnouts for our educational seminars on plants, fish, and general care and maintenance. As for our design, construction, and maintenance division – we are booked solid through this month! But it’s not too late to get on our schedule.

Well Spring has arrived on the calendar at least! And while Mother Nature has only been teasing us with some occasional warm weather, we have been in Spring mode for some time! And if you have been in the store, you’ve gotten a sneak peek at the new and improved retail experience at Kingston Nursery & Bay State Aquascapes. If you haven’t been in, what are you waiting for?!
Here is a glimpse of what will be new:
We are transitioning to a new name, logo, and Web site - 32and we are currently working on a facelift to our 58 year old facility. We are adding to our curb appeal and undergoing interior remodeling projects as well. Renovations that will liven up our displays, heighten your senses and give you great new ideas. Look for exciting new areas of our retail experience that include The Smallest Green Roof In Massachusetts, a ‘Rain Roof’, and our new Lifestyle Display Facility.
If you are looking for a bite to eat True Blue BBQ is re-opening for the season. They will be open from Wednesday to Sunday and also available for catering. Want some ambiance? Grab a seat out by the pond!
I would tell you more, but then you might not feel the need to come pay us a visit!
If you are longing for sunshine, warmth, and flowers in bloom, we can provide a little bit this week at the New England Flower Show. The Massachusetts Horticultural Society show runs from March 17 - 25, 2007 at the Bayside Expo Center. And, if you have ever wondered how you can turn your hum-drum back yard to an absolute paradise, then you will appreciate the theme of this year’s show, YES YOU CAN!
Be sure to check our display in partnership with MetroWest Water Gardens and area Certified Aquascape Contractors where the possibilities come to life! We are located at booth #27 , inside the main entrance and to the right. For more information on the show or to buy tickets, visit the Massachusetts Horticultural Society Web site.
Spring is almost here and we are busy getting ready for the big warm up! Right now you can find us at local home shows and doing seminars on the joys of owning a water feature and how to own your own watery paradise. When we’re not busy spreading the word about the hidden joys of a pond, we are installing them at homes and businesses and doing maintenance and clean-outs at the many ponds we have already put in.
So check our calendar of events and our Web site for more information about what we’ve been up to and where, and how, you can see us!
In the fall of 2006, Bay State Aquascapes was asked by the syndicated television show Junk’d TV to participate in one of their projects. We traveled to Greenville, SC where we helped singer, songwriter Edwin McCain surprise his road manager with a large front yard water feature. The project is featured on three episodes which are airing this month on Turner South Network.
In February we will begin hosting our seminars about the water garden hobby.
Our first seminar of the year ‘So You’re Thinking About A Pond’ will be held on February 24th. If you’ve been thinking about diving into the water garden hobby or adding a tranquil water feature to your outdoor living space, this is the perfect opportunity to learn all the facts. Coffee and snacks will be provided.
The cost of the seminar is $29.95 and each attendee will receive a gift certificate for $29.95 good for any purchases during that month. For more information or to register, contact us or call Bay State Aquascapes/Kingston Nursery at 781-883-4520.
We are more committed than ever to providing outstanding communications with our clients and fellow Water Garden Hobbyists. Each month we will be sending out e-newsletters full of helpful hints and seasonal maintenance reminders to keep your water feature looking its best. In addition to great information we will be keeping you up to date with what we are doing - seminars, do-it-yourself clinics, and special offers and promotions.
Whatever your needs, we will only be a click away! In addition we have a new look and a new direction and soon a new Web site that will be a great source of information for all of your water garden needs - stay tuned!
