Editorial Reviews

From germination to harvest, this guide covers a wide range of gardening projects. Leading with in-depth information on greenhouse design, the book then presents four greenhouse projects, from simple to quite complex. The rest are garden accessories, including landscape accents, seating, planters, trellises, and exciting and original concrete projects. Several of these are pulled from the publisher's other outdoor project books. Still, the instruction here is good, and accompanying photographs illustrate steps. If you have most of the "Black & Decker Complete Guide" series, you can live without this; otherwise, it's a good addition to larger public library collections.
