As an American who once lived in England, Ethne Clarke appreciates an aesthetic the Brits have long rallied behind that no garden is complete without a water feature. While this book focuses on water elements for small gardens, the information and ideas are valuable to all gardeners wishing to add some splash, trickle, and gurgle to their plots.The book covers important aspects of design as well as installation; touches on the mechanics of pumps, electricity, and lighting; and provides sound maintenance and plantng tips. Best of all, Clarke details 14 water features especially suited to small gardens, with explicit information on materials and construction. Line drawings explain the mysteries of plumbing, and beautiful photos show the features in garden settings.
