Clarke offers 14 step-by-step projects to design formal and informal pools, moving and still-water features, stone and pebble features (such as a millstone bubble fountain and a pebble pond), wall fountains and water spouts, splash fountains, and container water gardens. Clarke advises readers on what plants are best suited to water, and includes a catalog divided into deep-water plants, waterlilies, submerged plants, floating plants, marginal plants, and moisture-loving plants. 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.

A source of ideas to bring water features to the garden. From a formal fountain to a pebble pool, waterfall to wildlife haven this book presents a gallery of designs and practical advice on how to build a water feature. The projects employ the basic skills of construction and provide designs that can be adapted to suit any garden.

To the many, argues Clarke, gardening was definitely a chore and not an art: Gardens were to be lived in, not looked at. Outdoor spaces would be woven together in free-flowing plans and spot lit by planting groupings or sculptural specimens that were the attention getters not collectors’ pieces.

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.

This is my favorite kind of garden book--ideal for leafing through and picking up ideas. The pictures are lovely, and while some of the projects aren't practical for my own garden, they're great for daydreaming over. All the projects provide step by step instructions for accomplishing small fountains and water features, are really helpful and detailed down to the tools needed. Now, if I could just find a huge ceramic pot on sale, screw up my nerve and drill...

I should have believed previous reviews, but purchased anyway as an inexpensive used book. There is not much of interest here.

Very helpful.

Uaha

wish I had seen the contents of the book to know if it was worth it.
Was looking for interesting ideas that on lows budget - very few ideas listed in this book. Will need to find something else.
