Detail:  This book is different from most other books about garden ponds in one very important respect: it concentrates primarily on factors affecting planst and planting arrangements and pays relatively little attention to fish and other animals that might live in the ponds. Therefore its coverage of garden ponds is detailed and comprehensive - and what an excellent coverage that is! In addition to a thorough treatment of every significant consideration dealing with the planning and construction of ponds of normal and large size, this book also contains a large separate section that covers miniature water gardens in great detail.

Originally published in Germany, Garden Ponds for Everyone has a special bonus value for pond owners and potential owners living in colder temperate climates, as German techniques for preventing damage caused by harsh winters are presented in full detail.
