Nice Little Book,

This review is from: Pond Plants and Cultivation (Water Garden Handbooks) (Paperback)
I love this book!! Although I haven't had time to read every page yet, I've enjoyed all the beautiful pictures and appreciate the friendly approach the author has. I'm especially thrilled to see how aquatic plants can be reproduced. I'm hoping that I will be successful in reproducing some water plants over the winter. I have several water gardening books that I love but this one is only about the plants. It's not overpowering with information but you get enough to help you with your choices and the pictures are great inspiration.
