Synopsis

In this book, DIY materials, found objects, and the occasional bit of cellar debris are converted into distinctive garden furnishings imbued with a modern sensibility and resourceful spirit. At the end of the day, you'll be pulling up a chair and relaxing at your handmade outdoor cocktail table-on the rocks of course-or escaping to a vintage caravan that has been repurposed into an instant garden get away. Handmade Garden Projects is a fresh take on life outdoors-it's time to bring craft to your garden!

From the Back Cover

You can transform your garden into a handmade, personality-infused oasis. Author Lorene Edwards Forkner&;part eco-friendly non-traditionalist, part crafty creative with more ideas than money&;will show you how.

Projects run the gamut from eye-catching structures, like a pergola made from plumbing pipes, to imaginative details, like a tree-hung chandelier for nighttime ambiance. You&;ll also find helpful plant guides to accompany projects: delectable herbs to fill a stacking container tower, stellar succulents for a vertical gutter garden, glorious flowering vines to climb a bamboo obelisk, and so much more. Ready to get started? All you need are refreshingly simple materials&;hardware store basics, salvaged goods, repurposed castoffs from cluttered basements&;along with a little do-it-yourself spirit.

With clear instructions and inspiring variations on every theme, this book is easy to follow and easy to love. Your journey to a made-from-scratch outdoor space starts here.
