Earth ponds are increasingly recognized for the full range of gardening, landscaping, and ecological promise they hold.

With dozens of color photographs, Matson shows you how to site a pond in right relation to your house, offering surprisingly simple ways to visually link the two. His proven methods and designs reflect the many moods water evokes.
