Oliver Knott in the UK. 13th Sept. - Aquascaping

Moody · 08-30-2009, 02:34 PM

Hello all,

Ive offered on behalf of The Green Machine and as a founder of http://www.ukaps.org/ to post this event on APC. I hope that this has not bent or broken any rules.

Ukaps is the biggest and only UK aquatic plant society and often take part in many events at The Green Machine.The Green Machine is the biggest aquascaping retailer in the UK. The presence of Andy Mack, George Farmer and ADA all doing planting demonstrations for Ukaps members and The Green Machine customers backs this statement up.

The latest for both The Green Machine and Ukaps is Oliver Knott planting demo on the 13th of September.

This is from 'TGM' to the Ukaps fraternity.

We are looking forward to the occasion and to adding a piece of Oliver's work to our rapidly expanding gallery portraying the work different artists.

Best regards,

Jim, Mark, Graeme and co.

What an amazing day.

Oliver Knott is not only a talented aquascaper but a great guy with so much knowledge and a legendry sense of humour.

Here's Oliver giving a masterclass in tying Riccia stones

Note the 60cm front to back depth and 45cm height. Awesome.
