You'll need to give the group more specifcs, otherwise you won't get much of a response. You might want to read the newbie thread :)

go look at the swimming pool forum gallery and pics...that'll give you ideas. There are many beautiful pools there!

Check out these guys in Ventura,Ca. Used them on a project real pro!www.millscreations.com

Magazines found at your local supermarket, such as Garden Shed, Perennials, Fine Gardening, and others often have pool-side planting ideas this time of year. I do not have pool, but know that I've seen many such articles, with fantastic photos, recently.

Also, check out BHG.com (Better Homes and Garden); they have landscaping plans for specific areas and likely have pool-side garden plans.
