Book Description
Taylor's Weekend Guide to Garden Building Projects is for anyone with a yen to dress up a garden. It's also for anyone who prefers to build rather than buy the conveniences that make gardening easier and more enjoyable. This Weekend Guide contains easy-to-follow plans for projects ranging from a wholly whimsical backyard sculpture to a purely practical compost pile. Naturally, it emphasizes designs for plants - with trellises, a window box, a cold frame, raised beds for vegetables, and nine different planters. But it also shows how to attract birds, bats, and butterflies and details the construction of paths, retaining walls, and gates. The 40-plus projects range in complexity from a hose guide you can make in 20 minutes to a shelter for a trash can that could take most of a weekend. Each project includes complete plans; simple, lucid instructions; a list of tools and materials; and suggestions for adapting the project to your skill, taste, and garden.
