Giveaway: Water Gardening Books

You deserve a little rest and relaxation ... and you have just 2 more days to enter to win 2 water gardening books that will show you how to rest and relax in your very own backyard oasis.  So if you like looking at photos like this ...

The Sound of Waterfalls

Waterfalls add delightful sound to the garden and can be customized for your listening pleasure. If you live near busy traffic, you might want a grand waterfall to drown out the noise of cars rushing by. But if you live in the country, a small idyllic stream or waterfall can create just the right melody for harmonizing with crickets and birds. Whatever your fancy, the perfect watefall can be created just for you ... so sit a spell and enjoy!

Fallen logs are strategically placed to make this stream appear as though it's been part of the landscape for tens of years.

The Wonder of Waterlilies

Monet painted many water gardens and waterlilies ... and for good reason. The serene beauty of waterlilies stretching regally above the water or floating gracefully on the pond's surface inspires many an artist ... whether painter, photographer, or writer.

This Red Attraction waterlily pops out against the bright green lily pads.
