Customer Reviews
A definite 'Must Have' for beginning water gardeners
The cover pulled me in. I was in the process of designing that very same 'round' pool, in a similar patio.
But the interior of the book is what convinced me that the price was more than worth it.
The photo images are crisp and beautiful, the text easy to understand and the entire book is a grand encouragement to creativity.
This book is now one of the treasured volumes in my personl library.

Water Gardens
A great reference for the home gardener. Very clear color pictures to
spark ideas for your water feature.
