Garden, Landscape, and Project Plans: 225 Do-It Yourself Designs
bvaughnfamily avatar reviewed on + 47 more book reviews


I purchased this at a Friends of the Library Book Sale for maybe $1 several years ago. Since then I have perused the 320 pages for inspiration and ideas for my garden and yard. I've been satisfied that I got a great bargain :) There are no actual plans but there are instructions and ordering info in the back of the book if you want to buy plans. I'll type the table of contents below so you get a better idea of what's inside.

I would keep this because I still enjoy looking at the garden sketches, but I'm trying to reduce my personal library so that my kids won't have so much stuff to sort through after I'm gone (like my siblings & I had to do for our parents).
