Blurb: You can transform your garden into a handmade, personality-infused oasis. Author Lorene Edwards Forkner — part eco-friendly non-traditionalist, part crafty creative — will show you how.

Projects run the gamut from eye-catching structures, like a pergola made from plumbing pipes, to imaginative details, like a tree-hung chandelier for nighttime ambiance. You'll also find helpful plant guides to accompany projects: delectable herbs to fill a stacking container tower, stellar succulents for a vertical gutter garden, glorious flowering vines to climb a bamboo obelisk, and so much more.

Ready to get started? All you need are refreshingly simple, inexpensive materials — hardware store basics, salvaged goods, repurposed castoffs from cluttered basements — along with a little do-it-yourself spirit. With clear instructions and inspiring variations on every theme, this book is easy to follow and easy to love. Your journey to a made-from-scratch outdoor space starts here.

Review: Colorful images with easy to follow instructions made this DIY guide a winner for me :) Like most gardeners, I want my pace to be inviting and comfortable...but I also want it to be beautiful. And sometime just a little help to get it that way :) I am SOOOOOO glad I got to review this book :f ideas for my garden space and some girlfriends who are rushing out to buy their own copies :)

A MUST READ for gardeners :)
