During the course of my adult years, I have built scratch three garden projects from scatch.

The first was a basic and very simple garden to replace the bare and baron yard for the first house that I bought.

It was the first time that I had planted shrubs and experiences the joy of watching them grow and transform my own piece of personal landscape.

Brand New Garden Project

My second project was to build a brand new garden from a landscaping plan designed to be the major feature for my brand new architect designed home. The house and garden came together from start to finish during the course of nine years. During the time of these two projects I purchased many books and magazines of various descriptions to further my knowledge about general gardening, landscaping flowers shrubs and composting.

Garden Books Library

All these publications were in the form of traditional books and magazines which many of us are familiar with. The majority of these publications were in full glorious color and remains with me today as my gardening text and pictorial reference library.

Regardless of which type of gardening you do, vegetable or ornamental gardening, there is nothing quite like whittling away the hours in the fresh air and sunshine.
