It's easy to have a weak spot for Sunset's how-to books: they are lavishly illustrated with photos and great illustrations, always have clear instructions and plans, and are always indexed well. Water Gardens is no exception, although it might be even more visually stunning than Sunset's other books. From plans and ideas for water features in the tiniest urban courtyard or deck, to bog ponds, to the care of aquatic plants and fish, to fountains, waterfalls, and still-water refection pools--you name it, it's in here. The book even has a section on historic and beautiful water gardens through the centuries, and will really get your imagination "pumped."
Product Description
Just add water—its gentle presence soothes the stresses of daily living. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the garden. This new edition of a Sunset best-seller provides a stunning photo gallery to inspire readers with all kinds of flowing water elements. Includes detailed instructions for six water garden projects such as a wall fountain, a waterfall, and a stream, plus an encyclopedia of plants for in and around the pool and detailed information on selecting and caring for pond fish. From planning and designing a water feature to basic construction techniques and installing wiring and lights, this lushly photographed volume covers everything to create and maintain the inviting sights and sounds of water gardens. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
