    Aquatopia The Water Garden Mecca

    Strolling through the meandering paving stone walkways lined with a variety of hand-laid stone walls, lush, mature plantings, and an array of skillfully crafted water garden visions, a sense that this is not just another “pond store” is supremely evident. Under the aged timbers of a rough cut, oak pergola, concealed from the outside pressures of life, a stream comes into focus, backed up by the sounds of cascading waterfalls. A crossing emerges through the rocky stream leading to a medley of natural wildlife statues playfully spitting the joys of water into a gravel bedding. Soon, a kaleidoscope of amiable koi are evident at the surface of a pristine water garden, tucked away a forest of tropical aquatic flora, this is Aquatopia, the largest indoor water garden showcase in New Jersey.

    Lori B. gone downhill!!!
    User Rating: 1 out of 5 stars by Lori 05/13/2011 I feel this place has gone significantly downhill in the quality of their plants. We use to purchase there every year and more and more plants die and do not come back. They offer NO guarantee on any of their plants. Their service has dropped also. Last year I tried one last time and purchased four perrenials from them. NOT A SINGLE one came back. I purchased over 50 plants last year from various places, and these are the only 4 that did not come back. When I called them, their response was, "it was a rough winter, what do I want?" When I said the other 46 plants came back and they were in the same winter, he said "oh well." I will never purchase anything there again.
