Garden makeovers

Creating gardening magic on the weekends For anyone entertaining the in-laws, or planning a barbecue, or thinking of reselling a house, turning a neglected backyard into a showcase-almost overnight-might sound impossible.

Ideal for the gardener strapped for time, Garden Makeovers shows how, with only a few inspired touches-like candle holders, decorations, and a reshaped lawn-to instantly transform a weed-ridden patch into an awe-inspiring creation that will wow the neighbors.

Featuring ten gardens in detail, the book includes each garden's plan as well as overall and close-up photos, all in an easy-to-read magazine-style format.
