Designing and Creating Water Gardens

by Peter J. May

Water transforms a garden into a haven giving movement and peace, as well as a focus. Yet, water gardens are often considered too ambitious a feature. This practical book places water gardens firmly within reach of all gardeners and gives a wide range of design ideas from a modest fountain feature or bubbling rock to a full-scale waterfall or pond complete with bridge.

Peter J May is a landscaper and garden designer who has specialised in water gardens for the last twenty years. Peter has designed and built water gardens the length and breadth of the UK including the water garden in the top award-winning garden designed by John Van Hage at 1991 Chelsea flower show. Peter writes regularly for magazines; this is his fifth book. Resident - Bristol
