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. I have searched quite some time for a book that can guide me through this task 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 this price, it's a steal.

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 detailed instructions and illustrations for installing various ponds and fountains. Then it goes on to complete the project with descriptions and photographs of plants for in and around a pond.

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 . . .
