Publisher's Synopsis
The secret, Zachos believes, is to start with one small project, make it work (that's where her expertise comes in!), learn by doing, and move on to another. Easy! It couldn't be simpler or more fun, and the satisfaction that comes with helping things grow is unbeatable.
Zachos's broad range of creative projects encourages would-be gardeners to discover the joys of getting down and dirty. There's something for every taste, from planting a tree to designing a small stonescape to starting a strawberry bed. The projects teach fundamental skills and give beginners the confidence to keep learning. Taken together, they are the building blocks of a beginner's course in planting, designing, and creating. Gardening is really as easy as that. Spend a few weekends on fun projects that brighten up the home and backyard and learn basic gardening skills in the process. Proficiency in Latin is another matter.
