well compiled, lavishly illustrated and keenly written,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Water Gardener (Hardcover)
There are many books on the market that will explain the ins and outs and various pitfalls of building your own water garden, but I have yet to come across one so well compiled, lavishly illustrated and keenly written as this one. Every conceivable water feature available has been utilised and explained in order to make this book a pleasure for both the expert and the beginner alike. It comes as no surprise to learn that the author has designed and built over 2,000 water features, and acts as a consultant on "water gardening". Every step essential to the creation of a beautiful pond and its surroundings is laid out, step by step. The accompanying illustrations and photographs are outstanding, and each section details suitable plants; aquatic, marginal and more. I wish I had had this book to hand when I ventured forth into the garden one day, spade in hand, with the grandiose idea of a garden pond and bog garden!
