About this title

Synopsis

Provides information on designing, building, planting, and maintaining water gardens

Reviews

Timber Press, whose goal seems to be an encyclopedic work on every type of plant, now offers the definitive book on water lilies and lotuses. Part 1 provides information on designing, building, planting, and maintaining water and bog gardens, and includes a history of water plants and gardens. There's information on hybridizers, floating plants (plants without a root system anchored in soil), submerged aquatic plants, marginal and bog plants, and moisture-loving trees, shrubs, herbaceous perennials, ferns, and ornamental grasses. There's also a chapter on fish and other creatures found in water and bog gardens. Part 2 is a comprehensive list of water lilies and lotuses, describing all the species and major cultivars. The finished book will have 443 color photographs, 3 color illustrations, and 76 black-and-white illustrations. George Cohen

Store Description

We have been selling books with some success for over twenty years. In 1995, we opened a bookshop in the Peak District village of Castleton and traded successfully there until 2010. In addition to selling through the shop we developed an Internet business and built a reputation for a good and reliable service. The stock, which covers a wide range of subjects, but particularly ornithology and natural history, has constantly been improved, so we now over 9000 volumes of quality books. In March of 2019 we established a shop in the attractive market town of Bakewell in the Peak District National Park. The shop is open five days a week from 10.00 to 17.00 (closed Wednesday and Sunday). Customers are very welcome to visit the shop (tel: 01629 815547) or email books@hawkridge.co.uk
