Garden Ornament - Tapa dura

Each page of this practical book is packed with ideas for using ornamental features to add personality to your garden. A complete range of styles is included - from classic features such as statues, sundials and fountains, to funky looks with recycled materials. Discover how to use traditional garden objects in new and inspiring ways, or how to put together assorted objects for a dramatic effect. Try collecting driftwood and twigs from a walk on the beach to make a rustic wind-chime or something that will only last the summer, like a metal mobile made from aluminium cans, bringing a new sensual dimension to your garden.
