Notes: Helen Nash, the Pond Doctor, gives the basics for constructing water features in the garden, complete with photos, drawings, cutaway views, and helpful tips.
Other Notes: The tranquility of water has the power to calm frazzled nerves and soothe a weary soul. As our modern world increases in complexity, the simple serenity of water becomes ever more enticing. Create a magic world all your own with glittering shadows that bounce off your kitchen walls, or build a hidden pond in a clearing in the woods as an escape from everyday pressures, with this wealth of professional guidance by leading pond authority Helen Nash. Whatever style you choose, you'll find all you need to make the dream a reality. See how to build a pond from scratch, or use prefabricated molding; then learn what plants and fish to fill it with. Go beyond just a hole in the ground, and experiment with raised ponds, waterfalls, streams, and more. If you don't have the know-how to design a pond or lack the funds to hire a builder, practical advice and inspiring photos will help you realize your fantasy garden.
