The Hill Country Water Gardens and Nursery sits on five acres of land in the center of Cedar Park, Texas. A suburb of Austin, Cedar Park has a long history of strip malls and "big box" stores but, nestled inside this garden center you will find some local charm. Billed as a "full service" nursery, you can shop for local flowers and bog plants, stroll through the koi ponds, shop for funky pottery, and enjoy a park-like setting in the middle of the city.
This photo book is a study in the water gardens, showcasing images shot over a several year period, across seasons and changes (many additions) to the water gardens and nursery.

A wonderful book of images that flows as beautifully as the gardens themselves.
