Garden Decoration from Junk: Transform Household Junk Into Fabulous Garden Features Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Used items blend easily into the garden's weathered look, and once you see what wonderful things can be made from "junk, " you'll never look at an old chair, worn-out tools, or a spare pot in the same way again. Salvage peeling shed doors, reclaim household scrap for landscaping, and turn a dilapidated ladder into a frame for summer climbers like clematis. Jam-jar lanterns and mirrored trompe l'oeil bring an illusion of extra light and space, while cutlery wind chimes and a Japanese bamboo water spout add sound and movement. Don't throw it away--recycle it, and beauty will grow in your garden alongside the flowers! 128 pages (all in color), 8 1/2 x 11.
