Críticas

Building a water feature is no simple project. A rushed job will result in an amateur-looking finish and, even worse, a feature not in the right place causing a multitude of problems. "Water Garden Design" is an excellent prop for both the first time water gardener as well as those seeking a more inspirational idea to include in their garden. Following on from the basic knowledge required for siting, excavation and construction of ponds and water features are 15 different designs ranging from the simple bubble fountain to the more advanced streams and waterfalls. Woodland settings, formal settings and contemporary situations are all featured accompanied by clear construction details, planting plans and associated tips. Gloriously illustrated with both colour photographs and detailed colour drawings, it opens ones mind to the endless possibilities offered by the inclusion of water in the garden. Calmness, reflection, light play and the myriad of wildlife drawn to water combine to make a haven of peace in your own green space. The gentle trickle or cascade of water inducing a relaxed air into what is all too often noisy surroundings. Fish are covered too for those wanting a splash of moving colour in their pond and the comprehensive plant directory, arranged by seasonal interest, should ensure a floriferous display throughout the year. Ending on a diary of maintenance, this excellent book gives all the facts clearly and concisely whilst at the same time inspiring one with the beautiful designs featured.
