Water is essential to life, and its ability to take on many forms makes it an exciting element to use in garden design. Whether you want a crystal clear pool or wild, winding stream, this manual shows how to capture these qualities in your own garden. The book is structured to mirror the water cycle itself with sections entitled: "The Source"; "The Course"; "The Outlet"; and "The Destination". Each section opens with an inspirational look at the qualities of water at each part in the cycle. The chapters then go on to relate these natural elements to their man-made equivalent: a spring can become a fountain or a jet; waterfalls are reflected in cascades and water stairs. Detailed instructions are provided on the styling, materials and planning of each water feature. Design blueprints are given on the styling, materials and planning of key garden features shown and explain the construction techniques involved.

This work is aimed at those who want a garden that will respond to the time that they can devote to its upkeep. Limited time does not mean limited style: with good planning, some of the most effective small gardens can be maintained with surprisingly little input. The author looks at 20 successful new gardens. Graded into those which require low, medium or relatively high maintenance, they range from an elegant parterre to a serenely reflective water garden. Each is presented with photographs and an annotated planting and ground plan. By discovering the reasoning behind the design and by explaining how they can be emulated and adapted, the author shows how each can be mined for accessible ideas.
