COMPLETE WEEKEND GARDEN PROJECTS - Hardcover

Whether it's laying a paved patio, creating a simple but stunning new water feature in that forgotten corner of the garden, or planting a deliciously scented Mediterranean herb garden in a sunny spot, there's something here for everyone in this fabulous selection of more than 50 garden projects. Each of the book's seven chapters deals with a different category of project, from 'Water' (water features) to 'Wood, Brick & Stone' (from paving to pergolas, decks to decorative projects). Each chapter begins with its own introduction, advising readers about particular 'Dos' and 'Don'ts' relating to that subject. Up to ten projects follow in each section; every one is rated according to the time it takes to complete, and the level of skill and materials required. Because every project is illustrated in clearly arranged step-by-step photos, even the more ambitious schemes should be achievable by the 'everyday' gardener over a weekend - or less!
