Review

Most gardens need some kind of structural help to create edging, raised beds, trellises, fences, dividers and retaining walls, and wood has traditionally been one of the most common and versatile materials to enhance and beautify the garden. McBride is a well-known gardener and professional woodworker who nicely outlines most of the range of wooden structures used in the garden in this well illustrated and comprehensive guide. He lays out the planning process, the selection of proper grades and varieties of wood, basics of borders and steps, retaining walls, raised beds, fences, gates, and arbours, trellises and pergolas. Individual plans are provided with descriptions of the basic process to create customised projects with beautiful results. --Mark A. Hetts
