Joanna Smith offers creative ideas and foolproof techniques for a whole new approach to transforming a deck into an outdoor haven with indoor personality, making this space one of the most attractive areas of the home landscape. Landscaping and planting techniques make the deck seem to be one with the garden: containers bring flowers, herbs, and vegetables onto the deck, while trellises and pergolas covered with climbing vines add privacy, structure, and shade. This book is fully colored throughout and has everything needed to turn a bland area into a delightful, usable space that seamlessly joins indoor decor with garden landscape.
