'Creating Water Gardens' has detailed pictures and clear instructions explaining every aspect of water gardening, including container gardening, ponds, streams, waterfalls, fountains etc. It costs much less that other books it's size, and has more content. The project ideas are beautiful (and do-able), every plant has a picture and a long description. Every aspect of water gardening is covered, including the kinds of equipment you'll need and what it looks like. I highly suggest this book, it's definately the best I've found so far :)

Where, how, what and who to help (of even if) to add a water garden are clearly detailed in this concise and precise volume for the do-it-yourself enthusiast! I'm inspired by the beautiful photos and illustrations, but already carefully planning a phased installation to control costs, labor and avoid mistakes. Looking at the alternatives: dry, pond, falls, etc. will help when it comes to purchasing supplies, AFTER I finish a new plan for renovating the gardens around my home on two acres in a rural setting.
