Rock and Water Garden
Peter McHoy
If you are looking to breathe new life into your garden, why not consider adding a rock or water feature? A rugged rock feature can give a garden a wild unfettered look, whilst even the tiniest water feature can bring a sense of movement and vibrancy to a garden. No matter what its size, every garden can be transformed and Rock and Water Gardens offers a plethora of eye-catching ideas and garden plants. Each chapter is broken up into three parts. Each section begins with inspirational ideas complete with wonderful photographs to fire your imagination. These are followed by know-how pages, that impart tricks of the trade and devious dodges that will save the reader time and trouble, and will help you turn potential problems to your advantage. Finally, each chapter concludes with a series of projects in which you can put what you have learnt into practice, each with a clear plan with a useful key identifying each element of the design. Alongside the plans are practical step-by-step photographs showing how to achieve certain elements in the design, such as laying a pre-formed pond and planting through gravel. A section on rock gardens offers a variety of ways to transform your garden using this beautiful and diverse element. Projects range from highly stylized gravel gardens and traditional rock gardens to more complex designs perfect for sloping gardens. For low-lying gardens, there is also advice on creating an illusion of a gradient by adding a raised rock bed.
