 Water has been featured prominently in garden designs for thousands of years; hardly surprisingly it can captivate the senses, creating visually stimulating light and movement and soothing splashing and bubbling sounds.
In its many forms, water can be used as the focus of a new garden or to add an exciting one. Encompassing every aspect of Water in the Garden, this beautiful but also eminently practical book is full of ideas for incorporating water into a garden design.
In Water in the Garden, ponds, watercourses, waterfalls, fountains and small water features, from pebble fountains to troughs, are illustrated with inspiring photographs, and their construction explained in detailed text and, where applicable, step-by-step diagrams.
There is also a section devoted to bridging water using stepping stones, timber decking and islands, as well as a variety of bridges.
