Details and close-ups are included throughout, as are examples of the remarkable variety of water features that have embellished gardens throughout the ages – from the grand vistas of Versailles to the ‘natural’ look of English landscaping.
An important section on the small garden and listings of major water gardens worldwide complete the book.
