Decorating Your Garden - Hardcover

A practical book, this work is filled with ideas for furnishing a garden and making the room outside, whether small or large, a stylish, comfortable place to enjoy the natural world.

describes all the non-plant elements that may be found in a garden, including fountains and waterways; walls, fences, and gates; paths and walkways; lighting; furniture; gazebos, pergolas, and arbors; statuary and art; birdhouses and animal feeders; play equipment for youngsters; and grottoes, groves, and hideaways. Even though the emphasis is on decorating, information about plants is given when relevant -- for example, the best plants to adorn arbors, ponds, or to cultivate in stone walls. In addition, the text provides simple construction projects for the handy home-gardener, nuts and bolts information that is also useful when instructing a contractor to build a garden structure.
