I really like this book. Really, really like it. Yes, there are lots of books available containing instructions on building garden structures. But this one just feels special, so much so that I'm putting it on my definitely-buy list of books.

This book is amazing. It has a wide range of projects with easy to follow directions and pictures that anyone could make. I loved the range so that someone who's not as handy as I am can easily make something out of the book. It's always nice to look and find something that you can be proud to make to improve your garden/yard.
As someone who is currently expanding my garden and "harvesting", I found this book extremely helpful for my husband to accomplish this year. There were examples/plans for vertical growing, such as for beans, beds, etc. There was also tips for plantings.
This is an wonderful book for gardeners that contains building projects from raised beds to bee hives. Easy to follow instructions with lots of color photos. Highly Recommended.
Great space saving ideas. Nice instructions with a lot of helpful insights.
Lots of ideas I want to try. May have to buy this book.
This one was ok. Has some other info besides building projects. It's worth a check out from the library.
