Just because you don't have a pond or even room or time for one doesn't mean you'll never enjoy a water garden. All you need is a container no bigger than a fish aquarium and a few minutes a week. The beautiful and simple water gardening methods presented here are inspired by the Chinese, who've been doing it for nearly 5,000 years. Choose from a surprising variety of containers and plantings, from classic lotuses and small water lilies peeking out of traditional urns to pots and tubs on windowsills and door stoops. These miniature water gardens are a combined aquarium-terrarium and can excite the imagination more than either, even though they're easier to care for than potted geraniums or pansies in window boxes. Here is the basic information needed on how to select a container (anything you can seal and make watertight); how to maintain water quality (only a small pump, or maybe none); the most attractive low-maintenance plants and how to care for them; how to stock fish, prevent predators and pests, adapt your care to the four seasons, and much more; all with color photos to inspire your ideas, and closeup photos and drawings to show how to carry out each step of preparation, manufacture, and care.
