Water in the Garden: A Complete Guide to the Design and Installation of Ponds, Fountains, Streams, and Waterfalls

GREAT

What a wonderful book this ended up being. I learned everything I wanted to know about building a pond. I will let you know how my pond turns out!

Who knew there were so many ways to create a water feature?This is one of several books we bought to help us think about and come up with ideas for a water feature at our newly-purchased home in the mountains of Western North Carolina. We wanted a feature that would attract birds, provide white noise, and fit into a woodland setting.The steep terrain and the large size of the project meant that we had to hire a landscaper to do the heavy work, but the ideas and illustrations in this book gave us what we needed to express our needs and preferences and to have a productive dialog with our landscaper.Given the high cost of landscape projects, buying a few books to help develop ideas and understanding of the many options is a worthwhile investment. I did not find just one book that covered everything about water features; in this case I bought three that together provided a comprehensive range of information.

Bought as a gift

Was as described, very satisfied.

As informational as a bright fairy expects.
