Booklist Review

There are perhaps few garden elements that generate the visual interest of water added to landscaping. In this all-inclusive guide, the author presents aquatic designs incorporating the construction of a wide variety of pools, ponds, streams, and moving water (such as fountains and waterfalls). Allison also offers expert advice on the selection of ornamental fish. Decorative lighting is discussed along with appropriate choices for waterplants. Helpful information provides for proper maintenance of the total pond environment. This profusely illustrated manual is recommended for novice and experienced gardeners alike. ~--Alice Joyce
