Handmade Garden Projects: Step-by-Step Instructions for Creative Garden Features, Containers, Lighting and More

This may be helpful to those looking for project ideas and inspiration, but as a hands-on guide I found it lacking. Too much filler, too simplistic. This is one of those books designed to be part of a gift basket, I think, accompanied by a pair of cute garden gloves, a hat, and some lightweight hand tools. In other words, it's fluff.

My daughter has really enjoyed this! Giving her creative ideas for her tard

I have absolutely no problem with the seller or the shipping on this product- both were great.The book itself is just unsatisfactory, and sits really low in the list of home garden and yard decor books I own. I'll probably be reselling or trading at a local bookseller. It has no real how-to or educational value, and the pictures that are in it are secondary to the layout and text which the author(s) seem to be more proud of. A book like this does not need to go more than a page without a picture- let's face it- a book about garden decor is all about garden pictures and visual inspiration, or at the very least, techniques, but this book frequently has breaks of 4 to 5 pages with nothing but a solid color and LARGE, insultingly insipid, meandering paragraphs. Don't get me wrong, I love words- I just want them to instruct or describe a process or scene in the book. The information in this book is kind of useless. It's almost trying to be poetic or inspirational. The layout is poor too- pictures and paragraphs are placed too near the stiff center of the open book, with generous inches of open space at the sides- it's almost as if the pages got out of order at the printer's- but no- occasionally you will come across a two page spread of huge words across both pages, with no pictures or hint as to what scene (previous or next) that they are referring to. they are basically non-sequitur affirmations about garden decorating.I bought it for myself as well as my garden-savvy girlfriend. As we looked through it, I almost felt the need to apologize that 'it sure looked better online'....The few craft projects that are spelled out for you in the book are simple, unattractive and a little insulting..like showing how to install brackets to make a shelf out of an existing object.I really just wish the book was nothing but pictures and brief descriptions of small, quirky gardens using reclaimed or recycled items- with brief descriptions of each and a few ideas on repurposed items. The preview pages that you are able to browse here were well selected and enough to get me to buy the book- it's just too bad the rest of it fell short of inspirational or even educational.

Saw this book where I work and did not get it .... now I have the ebook and can look at it whenever I want. Not only do I like the ideas the book gives but I have found that the ideas help me to get other ideas for projects in the garden. Some great ideas ... really recommend this book for do it yourself gardeners.

Easy to read

If you like quirky or recycled art for your garden, this is a really good book. It has lots of creative ideas and can be a springboard for your own inspiration. The price and the value were very good.

fresh ideas!

This is a good book for someone that wants to add some charm to their garden. Some of the book goes into details while other parts are a little too brief. Overall a well written and thought out book.

This book has some very imaginative and reasonably easy to produce, ideas.

Received as advertised. Thank you
