What started as a humble landscape business in a rickety old barn has grown into the largest water garden and garden center in northwest Ohio.

Richard and Diane Giddens created Swanton’s Oak Park Landscape and Water Garden Center in 1984. Back then, the couple had two babies in tow and began to grow their business by selling shrubs, trees, and various plants to the retail public.

The landscape center then blossomed when Richard and Diane began designing water gardens and selling quality water garden and landscape supplies, as well as unique garden accessories. The business took on a different look each year with the addition of ever-changing, beautiful water garden displays, water garden plants, and exotic fish. Also added on a regular basis were water garden accessories such as statues and fountains.

Today, Oak Park Landscape and Water Garden Center is one of the most popular and successful water garden centers in the Northwest Ohio area.

Owning and managing lakes were very close to having major changes. Three Supreme Court decisions were close to having dramatic changes in ownership, management strategies, permitting, and a whole lot more. Carlton Layne, a retired employee of the EPA, sits down and talks with Troy and Matt on why some states make you get a permit to stock your own pond or lake or even get a fishing license to fish it.  Carlton also educates us about his nonprofit AERF, Aquatic Ecosystem Research Federation, and what he is doing to educate about these changes.
