"The Perfect Pond Recipe Book" Reprinted At last
In 1994 the first edition of "The Perfect Pond Recipe Book" was published and quickly gained a well earned reputation. Many thousands of this low cost practical book have been sold through bookstores all over the world. It became out of print. It stills remain an unique book.
"The Perfect Pond Recipe Book" was written by me (Peter May) and I also drew the many detailed landscaping picture ideas and practical in-situ sketches that characterized the uniqueness of the book.
The book was created when I was a professional landscaper in order to be able to show my clients how complex some water garden situations were and this was a reason why so many projects done by the DIY enthusiast went wrong. Well as the result of many many requests I have now completely updated the original successful version.

am Peter May. I am an author, illustrator, horticultural journalist and garden
photographer. My specialist field is water gardening, about which I have written
five books, two of them were called The Perfect Pond Detective. Not only that
though, for 17 years I owned a landscaping company that specialised in the
construction of water gardens and we built hundreds and maintained many of them
for years. Now, I write regular monthly features for two specialist water garden
magazines and have covered aspects of water gardening for most of the garden
magazines on the British newsagent racks. I also answer any queries of a water
garden and horticultural nature for a specialist Koi carp magazine.
Amateur Gardening: what's New with Julia Heaton. 15th Sept 2001
What's extremely useful about it is that it gives step-by-step instructions on how to build 15 different water garden designs including fountains, waterfall and stream gardens, a decked pond, a rill garden and even a grotto There's plenty here to inspire. The book is good value.
