Two stylish books from Laurel Glen Publishing will help gardeners find sophisticated ideas for typically mundane garden features like pathways and fences. Garden Surfaces: 20 projects for steps, patios, paths, decks, edging by Richard Keys and Garden Boundaries: 20 projects for trellises, walls, fences, gates, screens, hedges by Toby Buckland (Laurel Glen, 2002) both inspire the artist within, while giving detailed instructions on how to build new garden features. Also included in both books are chapters on style, materials, tools and techniques.
