Add flair to your garden and value to your property! What does your garden need to look its best--a comfortable bench to rest on while appreciating the beauty around you? A summer house to use for storage...or as an artist's studio? A delightfully bubbling water sculpture? This companion to Terence Conran's innovative DIY By Design takes do-it-yourself outdoors with these, and other, projects for gardens big and small. Dazzling photographs offer an inspiring glimpse of what others have done, as well as advice on planning a garden and what practicalities to consider. The projects cover five major areas of design: Seating and Eating; Garden Houses; Patios, Paths, and Ponds; Supports and Dividers; and Containers--and there's a complete discussion of tools, materials, and techniques. 130 fail-safe color illustrations enable you to construct an octagonal tree seat, barbecue, rabbit run, jardiniere, walk-through pergola, and more--30 projects in all. -- amazon.com
