Críticas
Water has been an important element in gardens for centuries. The Ancient Greeks, Romans and Egyptians all integrated water into their gardens. From Islamic courtyard fountains to Moorish canals, from Mogul paradises and Renaissance formality, the fascination with water has perpetuated through the centuries and still holds true today. From the delicate trickle of a small water feature to the gushing of a natural waterfall, the sound of this most precious of all earth's elements brings peace and a sense of tranquillity to all gardens. Small ponds, formal ponds, rills, canals and swimming pools are all examined in this stunningly illustrated book. Written by Gilly Love, famed for her love of water gardens in the gardening press, and consultant Peter Robinson, gives advice on design and structure for all manner of features. Contemporary and rustic, formal and natural, whatever size of garden you have there is a design to inspire. Gilly Love is quick to point out the inspiration that can be taken from large water features and translated into versions more suitable for today's smaller spaces. Divided into three sections - static ponds, running streams and ornamentation such as fountains - the work gives a balanced overview of the subject and ends on a detailed plant directory for aquatic and marginal plantings. Practical projects are included within each of the three sections with striking small water features such as mosaic bowls and copper balls for the reader to make themselves. For anyone thinking of installing a water feature this is a practical and appealing guide full of sound advice from two acknowledged experts in the field.
Reseña del editor
"Water in the Garden" is a celebration of water in all its breathtaking forms, from formal pools and rills to cascading streams and waterfalls, from bog gardens to swimming pools. Divided into three main sections, the book presents a range of examples of how water can be used in the garden. Pools, ponds, canals and rills, streams, and bog gardens are discussed in "Reservoir", followed by waterfalls, wall-mounted features, springs and wells, and fountains and jets in "Outlet". A section on "Elements" looks at those all importance special features that can be used in association with water, including bridges, islands, stepping stones, sculpture and light. Each of these chapters contains two case studies that look in detail at a specific, real-life garden. There are also eight easy-to-follow projects by leading water garden designers for an array of water features, including a Caribbean cascade and bubbling mosaic dish. In a section on "Planting", Gilly Love indulges her passion for water plants, showing how they can be grown together to create brilliant visual effects and providing invaluable advice on their cultivation requirements, while "Practicalities" aims to answer all those practical and technical water garden questions.
