Greg Wittstock began his career in the water gardening industry in 1982, when at the early age of 12 he built his first pond. What began as a hobby, soon became an obsession and Greg's first pond became the setting of his own "backyard classroom." With his heart set on creating the perfect pond, Greg began experimenting with construction materials and homemade filters. In 1991, using his experiences with his own pond, he launched Aquascape Designs, Inc.
