Waterscaping
Waterscaping By Judy Glattstein published by Workman Press. Plants and ideas for natural and creative watergardens. This informative Garden Book Club selection, illustrated with 32 pages of color photos, is a comprehensive guide to a beautiful form of gardening--waterscaping. Glattstein provides useful data on identifying and classifying such wet areas as wet meadows, marshes, and pools; discusses a selection of appropriate plants (some 400 in all, including grasses, sedges, rushes, and ferns); suggests garden combinations and designs; and gives instructions for installing pools and setting up container water gardens. She points out that gardeners no longer need large spaces for water gardening; the small backyard, the town-house patio, and the apartment terrace are all viable sites. ( from Booklists review site)
