Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
This informative Garden Book Club selection, illustrated with 32 pages of color photos, is a comprehensive guide to a beautiful form of gardening--waterscaping. Glattstein provides useful data on identifying and classifying such wet areas as wet meadows, marshes, and pools; discusses a selection of appropriate plants (some 400 in all, including grasses, sedges, rushes, and ferns); suggests garden combinations and designs; and gives instructions for installing pools and setting up container water gardens. She points out that gardeners no longer need large spaces for water gardening; the small backyard, the town-house patio, and the apartment terrace are all viable sites. George Cohen

WATERSCAPING is a valuable book to own!,
By
This review is from: Waterscaping: Plants and Ideas for Natural and Created Water Gardens (Paperback)
This book goes beyond the typical water garden book. It not only tells how to create a water garden, but tells how to deal with damp gardens that occur naturally. Many other garden books suggest to drain the garden if it's waterlogged, but this book helps evaluate the site and suggests native plants to enhance the area. If I had to choose only 1 book to own for garden ideas in my damp garden area, this would be the one. This is a must-have if you are blessed with a damp garden!

Where are the pictures,

This review is from: Waterscaping: Plants and Ideas for Natural and Created Water Gardens (Paperback)
When I get a landscaping book I like to see plenty of examples in full color pictures. Maybe get a few ideas and see what others have come up with that I can mix and integrate into my own water garden. This book is 95% wording and 5% pictures. I thought the book was a little dry and uninteresting. I'm glad I got it on E-Bay for $2.50 because I would never pay full price for it.
