Quality Artificial Stone for Pond Development

I am in the final stages of a large garden redevelopment project

I need lots of rocks for my new, large pond and small waterfall
(currently just a big hole and a large heap of soil) and can't afford
real rocks. I saw on the BBC Chelsea Flower Show 2008 programme a
garden in which the designer showed some artificial rocks which he
claimed would (and did) fool the judges. I have searched the web for
companies that might supply high quality artificial rocks without
success.
Can anyone on the forum recall the garden at the Show and/or know a
company that sells such materials?
Many thanks

Second link looks interesting. I wonder what the neighbours would think if
palm tree suddenly appeared in my garden! :)

Many thanks.
I am horrified at the prices.
Also, I was looking for some smaller artificial rocks for capping the rim of my new pond. These sites seem only to offer large rocks. At these prices it looks like natural stone would be better/cheaper for the smaller pieces and artificial for any large rocks.
Thanks again
