This is the best book I have seen on water gardens. It covers every step of the process from planning and construction through landscaping to stocking with fish and even maintenance.Many options are presented as far as size style and building methods for ponds, fountains, waterfalls, and streams. Fully illustrated with color photos and diagrams this is above all a great "how to do it" book.There is extensive coverage on choosing and caring for fish and other wildlife. A large encyclopedia of foliage including floating plants, marginals, ferns, shrubs and trees is also included. A photo, physical description, zones it will tolerate, & often some advice is given for each. Tons of landscaping enhancements are also suggested.There is history of water gardening and plenty of photos of beautiful finished gardens to give you ideas as well. I can't emphasize too strongly through how important this hands-on book is for someone who want to create a water garden of their own.
This book covered everything I needed to know (as well as what I've learnedover the years) about ponds and water gardens.A well-executed work! [...]
I was expecting a little more on trouble shooting.....but is very good on the whole. If you are considering a pond always make the pond bigger and deeper if possible.
Ths Water guide, gave me good ideas on reconstructing my Pool WaterfallAfter 60 yr old copper return pipe failed.. so I needed a replacement system
