MAKING gifts from natural materials gathered from your own backyard is one of the pleasures of gardening, and this charming book makes it easier than ever to find inspiration from flowers and foliage.

More than 50 original ideas are featured, from gardener's first aid kits to decorative wreaths, quaint nesting boxes, painted containers, decoupage seed boxes and garden furniture.

Clear, step-by-step photographs and brief but informative captions provide all the helpful hints and tips you need to get started.
