There is not a better encyclopedia of pond plants on the market. The Encyclopedia of Water Garden Plants is a top recommendation on our web site, www.iheartmypond.com. This book has a complete run down of the most common, and some uncommon pond plants, all categorized by plant type. It includes planting, pruning and care information for the most common varieties. If you are looking for plant ideas for your pond, or are trying to indentify a mystery plant, this is the book for you.

Full-color photographs vividly illustrate Encyclopedia Of Water Garden Plants, a no-nonsense reference and identification guide to identifying and cultivating a vast array of flora available to water gardeners of all skill and experience levels. Carefully researched and written over the course of seven years by founding members of the American Water Gardening Society, Encyclopedia Of Water Garden Plants is an all-encompassing reference and resource and a horticultural pleasure simply to browse as well as a thorough, hands-on useful resource.

I have had a pond for 30+ years. This is one of the best and most detailed resouces that I have come across. It is one of the few that details the type of waterlily corms that each variety has. This is extremely helpful in identifying plants that have spread naturally and are not blooming. Great photographs. Uses both common names and scientific names.

I am having a pond build and needed a comprehensive book of aquatic and bog plants that are suitable for Koi ponds. Everything is there at your fingertips. The color plates are wonderful as well as the descriptions. The only downside, it that I wished the authors would have a listing of the fragrant hardy and tropical waterlilies. Other than that, this book is a beauty!

This is a great book. There is suberb information on water gardening in this book.

Very complete source, but extensive use of latin names made it somewhat difficult to use.

I purchased this book for my son who is attending college to be a Landscape Architect. He was interested in learning more about water plants as we live in the south and there is a lot of time to enjoy a water garden. The book is BEAUTIFUL. It has everything you would need to know to make your water garden more user friendly. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in making a home resemble an oasis...

I love this book. I am new to the pond world and have found my passion. This book is the water gardener's bible. It is extensive in the coverage of all water plants and gives practical information on their care. It is suitable to ponds in any climate. Also, photos are lovely and are great for plant identification.

I have found the encyclopedia of water garden plants a valuable resource in planting in my area. It contains a wealth of information for your aquatic plants, and how to's.

Whether you're a commercial grower or just an avid hobbyist, this is the book of all books an aquatic plants. Very informative with excellent pictures, descriptions and pertenant information. A must have for anyone interested in aquatic gardening.
