Container Water Gardening: Quick and Easy Ideas for Small-scale Water Gardens and Indoor Water Features Book

The soothing sound of water is one of the greatest pleasures a garden can offer. Now even those who do not have a garden at all can enjoy the delights of water features by using the ideas in this practical text. There are designs, plans and instructions for small-scale, low-maintenance water features for indoors, patios and balconies. All are surprisingly simple to construct and install. From a miniature pond in a shrub tub to a pebble fountain in a pot, or from a free-standing cascade for a patio to a decorated watering-can with water pouring over a paved or pebbled area, there are plenty of ideas for small outside spaces. Projects for indoors include a table feature with flowing water and house plants, and a pedestal pool for home and conservatory, with rock, flowing water and plants. A plant directory lists over 60 plants suitable for different types of water garden, with details of propagation and attention required, information on whether it is a floating plant, a border plant or a water-loving plant, and whether it is suitable for indoors or outdoors.Read More
