Transform your deck into the ideal outdoor living space

When surrounded by shrubs and small trees, perennials and annuals, ornamental grasses and vines, your deck becomes an appealing link between your home and yard. In this book, you'll find everything you need to know to create your dream deck environment. Barbara Ellis offers dozens of creative ideas and fail-proof techniques.

Long-blooming flowers, fruit-bearing shrubs, and gracefully drifting grasses offer fragrance and color while attracting visits from butterflies and hummingbirds.

Plant-packed containers grouped on a deck convey a special feeling of abundance, and they instantly create a gardenlike feel.

Flowering vines trained over a sturdy arbor create an island of welcome shade. Flowers and foliage spilling over railings and covering a trellised wall or arbor provide a sense of privacy.

Count on Barbara Ellis to pick up on just what the American deck needs. Deckscaping shows us how to turn our own bland (or cluttered!) space into a delightful, usable room that seamlessly joins our indoor dTcor with our garden landscape. With so many good ideas, I can't wait to get started! (Frances Tenenbaum, Editor, Taylor's Guide to Gardening)

Barbara Ellis offers a whole new approach to making this outdoor living space one of the most attractive areas of the home landscape. (Lewis and Nancy Hill, authors of The Lawn and Garden Owner's Manual, Daylilies, Pruning Made Easy, and Secrets of Plant Propagation)

Aus dem Klappentext

Let climbing roses wander up a trellis or train old-fashioned wisteria on an arbor, enclosing your deck with color and shad and filling it with fragrance on summer evenings. Surround your deck with spring flowers and fall berries, as well as annuals and perennials that attract hummingbirds and butterflies. Plant ornamental edibles and herbs in containers or in a deckside bed for summertime meals. With flowers, vines, arbors, trellises, comfortable furnishings, well-placed lighting, and great decorating ideas, you can transform your deck into an inviting place to linger all year long.
