Ecologically friendly methods are included so that you can create a garden that eventually helps to sustain itself.
The tools and materials you’ll need are included with each step-by-step project, and each is rated for difficulty. With well over three hundred photos and illustrations to guide you through each step of the process, this is your essential starter’s guide to beginning gardening!
