The projects in this book provide great inspiration! The directions could be a bit more detailed, but they are decent and get you started. I can't wait to create a beautiful garden in the upcoming years using inspiration and projects from this book!

I read a lot of garden books. I own a lot of garden books. And usually, a new book will be a re-hash of a dozen others. But this book is different.

Lots of reviewers call this book inspirational--and that's a very accurate word. It's not so much about step by step directions. It's more about browsing through gorgeous photos and thinking: Hmm. I could do something like that...

Great book of inspirational projects for yard & garden. Book is spiral bound & has lots of color photos. The only down-side is some of the instructions are rather vague. I am very excited to try the paper mache sculpture (flower pots) idea, in the book.
