4.0 out of 5 stars Colourful, comprehensive and clear, 17 Dec 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Master Book of the Water Garden (Hardcover)

Given that this book was written in 1997, the design element is fairly traditional rather than contemporary, but the plant profiles are comprehensive and nicely photographed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Probably the only water garden book you'll need!, 14 Dec 2008

By	booksforever (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Master Book of the Water Garden: The Ultimate Guide to Designing and Maintaining Water Gardens (Paperback)

With its 320 pages and large A4 format, this book is chunky, packed and comprehensive. It starts with the history and principles of water gardening. Then an outline of various types of water garden, such as formal, informal, "water for wildlife", bog garden, water meadow and streamside gardens. It explains the essential requirements and consideration for each type. Sections on construction follow, explaining the merits of concrete, wood, pre-formed pools, pool liners, plus inheriting an existing pool. It also covers waterfalls, streams and fountains, plus bridges, walkways and islands, and sections on pumps and lighting. The plant and fish/animal directory is really comprehensive, at about 60 pages, and includes colour photos for each item. To finish the book off is a section on maintenance and trouble-shooting, including pests and diseases. If you start off knowing nothing at all, you'll find out everything you could need with this book.
