Growing a pretty garden doesn't have to cost a pretty penny - learn how to create a low-cost garden using a little elbow grease and a lot of creativity. These ideas will ease the tension on any gardener's pocketbook, while inspiring them with fun, creative projects for up-cycling, gardening ideas, tips, and alternative designs that will make gardening a pleasure - and an economical one. Combining classic gardening skills with ultra-creative ideas, this book shows 100 ways to up-cycle gardens by creating ingenious green-thumb DIY projects such as up-cycling common objects (such as tin cans, old potato sacks, and colanders) to revisiting basic garden techniques (growing from seed, for example) which can reduce a garden's overall cost.
