Good But Left Me Wanting
This book had good technical information/illustrations for building a water garden but I would have liked more information on ideas for pond settings, examples of different types.After reading it, I was looking for another book . . .

An excellent book with lots of pictures and instructions
I knew I wanted to add water to my garden but I was not sure what or how.This book is filled with examples and ideas.It also contains detailedinstructions and illustrations for installing various ponds and fountains. Then it goes on to complete the project with descriptions and photographsof plants for in and around a pond.

This may be the book you've been looking for.
Chances are, you're like me...you'd like to place a small pond in your garden.Not a large, elaborate, expensive, complicated pond; just a nice little pond with a perfect design.If so, this is the book for you.Ihave searched quite some time for a book that can guide me through thistask without overkill.This book has it all in just the right amounts. Excellent photo's that don't look like they were taken in the sixties! Clear, concise and to the point, yet full of imaginative ideas.At thisprice, it's a steal. ... Read more

Product Description

The first chapters, on planning and installing, are thoroughly detailed, and present options for the do-it-yourselfer as well as the amateur supervisor for hired contractors. The authors show you everything you'll need to know with glossy photos, bullet-point lists, and numerical tables. The section on chemistry is decipherable for just about anyone, with simple explanations of terms and systems--there's even a glossary listing everything from aerobic bacteria to zeolite. But the fun really starts when choosing your plants and animals. The colors are lush, and the choices are endless--is it koi you find appealing, or a family of toads? Will it be local iris, or exotic Persian lilac water lilies? There's also a special section on aquatic plant and animal health, because the diseases and insects that hit water plants and animals can appear quite different from what we're used to. If you've got strict limits on size or budget, the chapter on container gardening will supply all your answers. Maybe a "bog in a bottle" isn't the same as your own private waterfall and pond, but it's a great introduction to these fascinating plants and creatures. --Jill Lightner ... Read more

The best I've found!!!
I've taken many, many books out of the library on ponds and water features.This is by far the best.For me the test of a truly great gardening book is whether or not I feel I HAVE to have it in my home library.This is a definate HAVE TO HAVE IT! It covers small water features on up to larger ponds and streams.It has suggestions, clear directions, many pictures and a plant reference section. It tells you how to make a bog garden separate from your pond, how to make a shishi-odoshi (Japanese deer scarer), a tsukubai (Japanese spill basin) among many, many other things. If you only have room for one book on water gardening this is the one to have!Judy ... Read more

This slickly produced photo-book is short on substance
While filled with brightly processed color photos and modern typesetting gimmicks this book has little substantive information on stocking your garden pond.The section on koi, however, stands out.The pictures are good and the explanation of the basic types of koi are good.This book is published as a magazine also, and doesn't quite make it to coffee-top status.So I recommend looking for the magazine (cheaper), or buying one of Axelrod's books on koi, of which there are many. ...

Water Gardens
A great reference for the home gardener. Very clear color pictures to
spark ideas for your water feature.

A definite 'Must Have' for beginning water gardeners
The cover pulled me in. I was in the process of designing that very same 'round' pool, in a similar patio.
But the interior of the book is what convinced me that the price was more than worth it.
The photo images are crisp and beautiful, the text easy to understand and the entire book is a grand encouragement to creativity.
This book is now one of the treasured volumes in my personl library.
