Overview
Whether you enjoy the inviting sound of water tumbling from a fountain or the calming effect of reflections in a still pool, a water feature always enhances a garden's beauty. Even the smallest backyard can benefit from this addition, with this wealth of inspirational ideas for everything from tiny pebble pools to more elaborate fish ponds, rills, and steps. The lush inspiring photographs of some of the most glorious water features in gardens anywhere, along with the practical information on good design and sound construction, will you give hundreds of design ideas of your own. Along with the particular attention to style and siting, there's also specific advice on deep and shallow water aquatics, moisture-loving plants for the pool's edge, and flowers and vegetation that will flourish in the damp or shady areas surrounding a pond. "Case histories" of actual water gardens describe the owner's original intentions and show how to adapt them to your own space. Plus: vital information on aeration, water purification, and pump care.Book Details
