Customer Reviews

Vague at best
I found this book to be less than informative, and very vague when it came to waterfalls. With regard to a pond it was very good, but fell very short of how to design, install, and maitain a waterfall. In fact the waterfall information was on about 4 pages total. Not worth the purchase.

A nice book with great pictures at a good price
Although this book is not as comprehensive as some of the other texts on water gardens, it has a wonderful assortment of pictures (which is always nice for "ideas"). The price was low-end and I think what is contained is reasonable for this smaller book.

Not a bad buy.
For the low cost of the book I'd recommend it to any beginner or experienced person looking for ideas and inspiration on their next project.
