describes all the non-plant elements that may be found in a garden, including fountains and waterways; walls, fences, and gates; paths and walkways; lighting; furniture; gazebos, pergolas, and arbors; statuary and art; birdhouses and animal feeders; play equipment for youngsters; and grottoes, groves, and hideaways. Even though the emphasis is on decorating, information about plants is given when relevant -- for example, the best plants to adorn arbors, ponds, or to cultivate in stone walls. In addition, the text provides simple construction projects for the handy home-gardener, nuts and bolts information that is also useful when instructing a contractor to build a garden structure.

More About the Author
For the first eight years of my life, I was a suburban kid in Manhasset, New York. Then we moved to the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania where I learned to hunt, fish, eat wild foods, and swim in pristine waters of spring-fed creeks. Then I lived in Manhattan. So I'm at home just about anywhere. My experiences in the country, though, were the most important, leading me through newspaper and magazine work to Organic Gardening magazine, where I developed a love of gardening and landscaping. Now I'm a wine writer for many magazines and the restaurant reviewer for Northern California's newspaper of record, the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, here in the heart of the Wine Country. I'm also a contributing editor to The Wine News and Horticulture magazines. I've written 18 books on food, wine, and gardening,--many of which are available on Amazon.
