This work takes a fresh look at decorating your garden and presents in pictures and captions an array of ideas that are achieveable, affordable and rewarding and worthwhile. It covers the traditional ground, but shows how a gardener on a limited budget can create beautiful and unique features on their gardens, without resorting to cheap reproductions of classical statues. Chapters range from furniture, outdoor art and sculpture, pots and containers and boundaries and dividers to artless art - on using everyday tools or objects for their decorative potential; and focus on plants, wher the author shows how to exploit the drama of living things to best effect. Throughout the book, Mary Keen takes a tangenital look at the subject of garden decorations and comes up with original suggestions

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
The primary value of ornaments in the garden is that they can be used to suggest feelings, Keen emphasizes. Discussed here is a wide-ranging list of objects: garden furniture, outdoor art and sculpture, pots and other containers (such as wicker baskets and wooden tubs), so-called green sculpture (espalier and topiary), scarecrows, rocks, stones, and pebbles, plant supports, trellises, stone basins, fountains, and even brightly painted gates. This imaginative book, with 250 imposing color photographs, is a selection of the Garden Book Club. George Cohen

Different from anything else,
By Ellen Baker (Longview, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Decorate Your Garden: Affordable Ideas and Ornaments for Small Gardens (Paperback)
There are so many ideas in this book I've never seen before using things you already have. The best part is the individualityof all the options.. Things that are truly original but pleasing to the eye as well.
