Water in the garden - A. M Clevely

A water feature will bring vitality and enchantment to a garden. This book shows you how you can create one
whatever the size of your garden, ambition or budget. Do you want a lively cascade or a tranquil pool? A formal style with a classic fountain or a naturalistic design planted to attract wildlife? Andi Clevely helps you to choose from the many possibilities. He supplies all the practical know-how that you need to make a pond, a fountain or a waterfall, providing clear instructions on calculating size, construction and pump installation as well as advice on extra touches such as islands, edges, lighting and fish. He tells you too about the plants that revel in watery conditions, and how best to grow them: those like water lilies that like to stand in deep water, the marginals such as irises and kingcups that flourish on the edges, 'floaters' and bog plants.
