"Creative ideas for every shape and size of garden"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
If you like gardening, this book is great! Thousands of excellent-quality color photos, guides to choosing the right plant for different types of soil and climate, ideas for planning your garden, seasonal tips, indoor gardening...what more could anyone want from a gardening book? And the best thing about this 500-page hardcover book is that it is both beautiful AND practical, with lots of step-by-step guides (with photos) explaining such things as "how to make beds and borders," "ponds and water features," "garden lighting," and even "furnishing the garden." And all this is written by people who know what they are talking about, with years of experience in gardening. This attractive, extensive, useful book would make a great gift for anyone planning, expanding, or improving a garden (I got it as a gift from my mother-in-law after I bought a new house, which needed a lot of landscaping/garden work).
