Works for ALL budgets and here's why, 25 Oct 2004
By K. Corn "reviewer" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Deckscaping: Gardening and Landscaping on and Around Your Deck (Hardcover)
I love to garden but I don't have a huge budget so I was delighted to discover this book, which covers topics I hadn't seen in similar books. Among other things, it includes:
Full color photos of all sorts of deck gardens, from evening gardens to container gardens, trellis gardens and more
Detailed tips on how to camouflage ugly (but usually inexpensive) containers, allowing readers to spend more on plants and less on containers. She provides instructions for numerous and easy "cover-ups" for those awful plastic pots. I love this!
Tips on planning deckside flower beds, choosing furniture and buying or making trellises and other supports are invaluable. This author knows her stuff and even includes plans for all sorts of items (I love the very easy copper trellis she includes)
She lists the plants by their common and horticultural names and includes photos of nearly every plant - in color.
Plans for the deck gardens are incorporated into the larger landscape theme (assuming you have one) so that your deck fits into your total garden design scheme, a very nice touch.
If you aren't a natural decorator, her chapter on "Decorating with Style" will save you time and frustration. Her examples are never tacky, always tasteful and accomplished with a minimum of time, effort and fuss. Again, something to love!
Finally, this book allows readers to simplify their deck gardening time, which means there should be more time to savor the results of your efforts. Who wouldn't love that?

THOROUGHLY INTRIGUING, 27 Feb 2002
By Sandra D. Peters "Seagull Books" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Deckscaping: Gardening and Landscaping on and around Your Deck (Paperback)
This book thoroughly intriqued me because often when we think of decks, we think of some elaborate, expensive project. In this case building a deck can mean little more than building a simple platform and from there, expanding on your idea to whatever extent one chooses. How far one goes with design will likely depend to a certain degree on space, lifestyle and financial resources. There are some great ideas here for furniture, planters, etc. and the photography is quite appealing. Wondering what to plant around your deck and where? This book offers some really great suggestions. Now, if I could just find my existing deck under all this snow....
Listmania!
