Editorial Reviews

From Booklist
A pond's tranquil surface of lily pads and lotus blossoms can conceal a surprisingly fecund realm teeming with fish, frogs, turtles, and other aquatic creatures--if you know what to do. In her latest book, acclaimed water gardening expert Nash focuses on the aesthetic and environmental roles these creatures play, and, by thoroughly detailing physical characteristics and culture requirements, plans habitats best suited to each species. From recognizing and treating health problems to understanding the importance of water quality and filtration, this encyclopedic guide is geared to maximizing your success. Whether you are adding fish to an existing pond or planning a new water garden with animal life in mind, Nash's logical approach will increase your enthusiasm for aquatic gardening. But should you feel like a fish out of water when it comes to pond gardening, never fear: with Nash's expert instruction, you'll learn how to create a water feature that enhances the lives of those who enjoy it while satisfying the needs of those who inhabit it.

4.0 out of 5 stars EARTH, WATER AND BEAUTY., December 16, 2000
By Dorothy Weiss (ORLANDO, FLORIDA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Creating a water garden is yet another way to attune oneself with nature. This water garden concept is actually a pond. Author Helen Nash provides clear basic instructions on how to both build and maintain a pond with live fish, turtles or birds. You no longer have to envy the tranquility of Jane and Henry Fonda's "On Golden Pond" shimmering screen images. You may be inspired to begin building your own pond as soon as you finish reading this book. Ms. Nash has crafted a fine book for those who appreciate the beauty of nature. Leave the tension in the workplace. Come home to the peace and tranquility of a living pond in your very own backyard.
