Garden projects with Tanya & Anna
Inspirational ideas and step-by-step transformations for your garden
Tanya Visser & Anna Celliers
An inspiring DIY book that has “make your living space beautiful” as its theme. Stunning,
full-colour photos guide you through a wealth of creative suggestions on how to
transform your garden, or certain parts of it, into a sight for sore eyes. This is followed by
a vast variety of DIY projects – from the quick and inexpensive, such as planting a pretty
hanging basket, to those that require more thought, good planning and a thicker wallet.
Water features and everything associated with them, including pumps, accessories,
fountains, fish and koi, plants 
and maintenance; how to plant the most stunning pots,
containers and hanging baskets, care for and display them, as well as recipes for winning
combinations; and how to build walls, retaining walls, paths, patios, courtyards as well as
steps, and how 
to beautify these constructions using appropriate finishes or plants, are
discussed at length and illustrations are provided throughout. Most projects include tips
to keep you on the road to success, as well as short descriptions and colour photos of
suitable plants that can turn your creation into something truly special.
