Slipping and sliding to the starting line -- The goods and where to get them -- More than your hands alone -- Walk on this -- Making good neighbors -- Arbors and other over-the-top ideas -- Contain yourself -- Sitting this one out -- A candle against the night. Author and expert Matthew Levesque shows you how to find the best salvage materials, and how to transform them into striking, sustainable garden projects. From simple creations like a planter made from an old toolbox and a rain chain of discarded keys to projects such as arbors constructed from window shutters and patios tiled with scrap stone and recycled glass, the ideas in these pages represent the best in creative reuse and innovative garden design.
