HNA and GIE+EXPO Set for Oct. 21 – 23
Aquascape Inc. Introduces Inventive Faux Log Fish Cave Aquascape, Inc., inventor of the green industry’s No. 1 contractor-installed water garden, announces Faux Log Fish Cave as an innovative addition to their product line for 2020. The Faux Log Fish Cave offers a heavy-duty, natural-looking shelter to protect pond fish from troublesome predators such as herons. “Too often, predator protection detracts from the appearance of a pond. The Faux Log Fish Cave extends safeguard to pond fish and functions as a decorative accent,” says Dave Kelly, a vice president at Aquascape. This product joins a family of decorative faux wood items that includes the Faux Oak Stump Cover and Faux Driftwood.

Opportunities to explore new products, learn new techniques and business trends, and network with industry peers draw landscape and hardscape professionals from across the globe to Hardscape North America (HNA) and GIE+EXPO. The co-located trade shows are set for Oct. 21 to 23, 2020 at the Kentucky Exposition Center. “We attended last year and decided to bring our crew this time because it's so important to stay up on what's happening in the industry,” said attendee Ray Irvin of Outdoor Escapes in Oak Grove, Missouri. “We're finding new innovations that will make our jobs easier and learning about trends that will help us give our customers what they want.” More than 1,000 exhibits feature the newest innovations and technology indoors and out. The 20-acre Outdoor Demonstration Area offers the opportunity for hands-on testing. In addition, HNA’s Hardscape House features the HNA Installer Championship and a series of hardscape demonstrations where attendees can watch and learn the latest techniques. Education, beginning Tuesday and spanning all three days of the events, will include installer courses, businessrelated sessions, technology training and a motivational keynote. Registration will open in April 2020. For more information, visit www.hardscapena. com and www.gie-expo.com, or call 812/949-9200.
