Amazon.com Review
Gardens are wonderful retreats, made even more wonderful when interesting seating beckons the visitor to stop and enjoy. With enticing photographs and extensive directions, this wide-ranging collection of garden seating projects offers very handsome designs for the experienced wood- or metal-worker, as well as less challenging ideas involving painting or sewing to dress up existing pieces, and even an outdoor "sofa" made of straw bales and throw pillows. If you don't have the know-how to construct the more advanced pieces, browse the volume for inspiration and find someone to build the piece for you--you and your garden will both be the better for it. --Amy Handy
From Booklist
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, and a tired gardener. When you're ready to stop and smell the roses you've so carefully tended, having a comfy garden seat nearby can make relaxation that much more pleasurable. For ingenious and creative do-it-yourselfers, Kilby's guide to garden seating offers a treasure trove of project ideas to help gardeners create unique outdoor furniture. Using various materials including wood, stone, and metal, Kilby places particular emphasis on recycled or ready-made objects, encouraging readers to think of new ways to work with existing items. From the whimsical "Circle Your Wagons," using the familiar children's toy, to elegant Far Eastern cedar and bamboo, Kilby's garden seating goes beyond the stereotypical wood bench or resin chair. There's something for every skill level within the book's 40 projects, and each one is accompanied by a complete list of recommended materials, tools, and supplies. Carol Haggas
