This book offers everything you need to know to design, construct
and plant up a rock or water garden with directories of suitable
plants and how to grow them. It includes inspirational plans of
full-scale water and rock gardens, such as a slate rock pool, a
rock stream, a cobble fountain, a raised pool and a wildlife pond.
It features over 600 photographs including stunning examples of
gardens, step-by-step sequences and plant portraits. It offers
practical guidance on construction materials and techniques, an
easy-to-use directory of water and rock plants, care and
maintenance, and a guide to buying and introducing fish. Water is a
welcome element in any garden, having the power to both soothe and
excite. Combined with rock, it brings a whole new dimension to
garden design. This book explains how to create beautiful rock
pools, ponds, gravel gardens, wildlife pools and bog gardens, and
shows how to use bridges, decking, stepping stones, islands and
lighting. A plant directory provides information on waterlilies,
deep-water aquatics, oxygenating and free-floating plants, as well
as trees, shrubs, ornamental grasses, ferns and alpines. Whether
your dream is a simple rock-edged pool or a cobble fountain, this
book is perfect for both beginners and ambitious gardeners.
