2.0 out of 5 stars Just fair, July 28, 2000
This review is from: Taylor's Weekend Gardening Guide to Water Gardens: How to Plan and Plant a Backyard Pond (Taylor's Weekend Gardening Guides) (Paperback)
For the beginner this is a decent INTRODUCTION to water gardens but it is loaded with inconsistencies, lacks definitions (a glossary), is illogical in many places and left me frustrated many times trying to understand the basic stuff. Again a decent introduction to water gardening but the serious "gardener" would be well advised to look to other sources.

This review is from: Taylor's Weekend Gardening Guide to Water Gardens: How to Plan and Plant a Backyard Pond (Taylor's Weekend Gardening Guides) (Paperback)
Excellent guide that I highly recommend. This is well organized, clear, complete and is very well illustrated. This is an excellent book on water gardening that will be particularly helpful to beginners, but also contains interesting and creative ideas for the more experienced water gardener.
