Dress Gardens with Fountains
 Yearning
for a water feature in your landscape? “Water Gardens”
is a concise, useful how-to book, describing options for in-ground
or above-ground gardens. A number of water plant selections are
suggested, with instructions on installation, care and over- wintering.
Fountains are often a focal point of these creations, as they keep
water aerated and healthy for plants and fish.
Small ponds should cover at least 50 square feet with a minimum
depth of 18 inches and should be carefully sited for both landscape
attractiveness and electrical access for pumps and lights. Hughes
cautions overly ambitious gardeners to begin with container gardens
or smaller ponds before tackling larger constructions and waterfalls.
Choices about using preformed or flexible liners and decisions
about edge landscaping styles, such as making them simple or highly
creative, must be made.
Photographs and step-by-step instructions are included for all
styles, sizes, shapes and terrains. This excellent and helpful basic
handbook is packed with great ideas.
