Garden Projects suit your needs and abilities, from practical and
simple raised garden beds to more ambitious things, like a tool
shed. There are more whimsical structures too-a flagpole, a garden
swing, and an ornamental wheelbarrow for flower arrangements among
them. Author Roger Marshall has carefully designed projects that
don't require a vast array of tools or advanced woodworking skills.
Every gardener will find ideas and plans to enhance his or her
garden in this helpful book. Marshall applies his know-how and
skillful delivery to a wide range of building projects that might
take a weekend afternoon or provide a way to pass the time
constructively on those dark winter days when you can't wait to get
back out into the garden.
Welcome to your essential guide for creating healthy, sustainable, water-wise gardens and landscapes.
