About this title

Synopsis:

No need to have a green thumb to enjoy colourful and attractive outdoor spaces. This book uses common cast cement landscaping elements like scalloped borders, stepping stones, and retaining wall blocks, as well as natural river rocks, to create an amazing array of innovative designs. Author Lin Wellford takes readers step by step through the process of making a realistic "Faux Fish Pond" and a strikingly lifelike "Iguana Rock", plus fanciful projects for flower and butterfly stepping stones, "Fishy Flower Beds" and a life-size "Garden Gator". Full size patterns along with clear and complete instructions and over 200 hundred colour photos ensure that anyone can succeed in making these attractive pieces to enhance their gardens and paths.
