 Great first water garden book March 18, 2006
I bought this book to help plan a water garded. It is easy to read, keeps your interest, answered my questions, and had good pictures.
I also bought "The Pond Doctor"(not as good for a first book, but good reference book), and "Pond Basics 3" (a pamphlet from Emperor Aquatics, quick read and short answers).

Have always had goldfish and their like but had never gone beyond the aquarium before. Finally this year I had the chance and the desire to build a pond. Of course I needed some help and this was the book I picked up.I found this book to informative and helpful much like many other books on the topic, but what had sold me was the winter care part, seeing as my pond is in that mode six months out of the year...

This book is an excelent starting place for those who have ever wanted to install a pond or stream in their yard. It gives complete instructions about planning, purchasing, and building outdoor water gardens. It even lists the varieties of fish and plants to put in your pond. It also has a section on winter care of your ponds. This was helpful to me because it gets very cold during the winters where I live, and I needed to know what to do to ensure the success of my pond. Overall, this is a great book!

The best all around garden pool and fountain book that I've read so far. I have a couple of other garden pool books including "The Rock and Garden Expert" by D. G. Hessayon, but none of the other books provide the depth of design ideas that Ortho includes in this book. Although the "Rock and Garden Expert" does have a better of selection of plants. Ortho's book also includes illustrations on exactly how to install the different types of ponds as well as information on filtration systems, edgeing, lighting, etc. The back of the book also contains lists and photos of various plants and fish that are suitable for the different types of water gardens. If you only want to buy one book on garden pools, this is the one.
