Summary: Has all the basics
Comment: I'm a huge fan of Ken Druse - all his books have been great and this is no exception. It has great photographs that definitely inspire, lots of good practical information on designing different types of water gardens (formal as well as informal, tips on "finishing touches" such as lighting, how to set-up/install your water garden, how to create moving water etc. Its a good overall book. The part I like the absolute best (and the reason why I bought the book) is the section on plants. There are great pictures of the plants as well as information about how they grow, what they need, if they are fragrant or not etc. I'm only going to plant native plants in our water garden so I think this will be a great place to start (I'll have to double check that they're native but that's one of Ken Druse's themes so I' figure it's probab;y a good starting point). I'm only giving this 4 stars because I wish there were more in here specific to frog ponds rather than just focusing on koi. From what I've heard - you don't need to buy frogs (and really shouldn't since the frogs that the nurseris sell are generally bullfrogs which are not native to the US and eat all our native frogs but instead - build it and they will come. Friends have said that if you set up a frog p[ond (even in the middle of the woods) within a week or so frogs will be in there splashing about. Anyway, the other reason I gave it only 4 stars is because its 10 yrs old now andthere are so many new tools/techniques out there that just were not available when this book was written in 1993. Even still, a great reference and th price is right!
