Many people want a beautiful garden, but it can take a lot of time to have such perfection. But what if I told you that you could have an almost perfect garden without the high cost, intensive effort or without spending all your time creating it and keeping it that way; if I showed you the secret would this please you?
Now then what if I told you that I learned most all of my "Secret" gardening tricks from a book? Would you believe it? What if I told you the name of the book, so you too could be one with a beautiful garden in 20% of the time, or less? Would you buy it? I did, and the book is simply called; "Instant Gardens - Practical Projects for the Impatient Gardener" by Peter McHoy.
The best part of this book is that it is fully illustrated with step by step instructions. Everything you'll need for each project is listed, as well as substitutions if you cannot get the supplies, wants to save a little extra money or modify the project as you go. The book goes into drawings, use of space and renderings, before you start you'll need a plan; the plan is to have a low-cost beautiful yard and garden, that is easy to make and easy to maintain.
Build lattices, ponds, brick walkways, retaining walls, water features, fences and grass that look like a golf course green. Understand the eco-system you are building, the birds and critters you'll attract and how to make it all look like the garden of Eden.
Now then, as this is a book review, I must give you're the pros and the cons. The pros I have listed above and the cons, well, I can only think of one. I should have bought this book a lot sooner, before I invested 10s of $1,000's in my garden. Please consider this.
