An excellent book full of varied information, it's not just focused on plants. Sections include "landscaping with structures," "planning your garden," "finishing touches," and more. There's a small DIY section at the end that would be useful in deciding if a project might suit your skill levels, though I think more detailed instructions might be needed. I enjoyed the book. There are lots of pictures and helpful diagrams. It would be a good "non-plant" reference book for Midwestern gardens. The major flaw to me seems to be an assumption of more space for a garden than is usual in my town. I would have to shrink down many of the ideas.
