4.0 out of 5 stars Great idea book with Beautiful photos of fountains, September 27, 1999

This review is from: Fountains and Cascades (For Your Garden) (Paperback)

This is a wonderful book featuring a wide variety of beautiful fountains for all types of gardens. The book is in full-color and most photos are full-page size. You'll find many unique ideas here to fit any size garden.

The book starts out with photos of formal fountains and springs. Then images focus on integrating the fountain into the garden or adding plants around it for accent. Captions below describe the fountain & point out its special features.

My favorite fountains include a woman holding a small bowl that falls onto a circle of rocks. I also liked a colorful Spanish influenced fountain with four frogs shooting water to the center.

This book is not meant to teach how to make or install a fountain. Rather it is an idea book. I found the examples here inspirational & they were very helpful in choosing a fountain for my garden.
