This guide is about creating a garden that will suit all members of the family - whatever their age and interests. Many parents simply don't have time to dedicate to gardening, yet would like a garden that will look good, with minimum time and effort. "Collins Family Garden" has many ideas, whether you are starting a garden from scratch or adapting what you have. It starts by looking at basic design issues including how to make the most of your garden, whatever its size, and how to include elements that will appeal to all members of your family. The book contains chapters on surfaces, boundaries, buildings and easy planting to give you a practical structure to your garden, as well as ideas on how to have fun safely. It suggests ways to enjoy your time in the garden, from the best garden furniture for relaxing, to sand pits, swimming pools and slides. There is also a chapter on pets and wildlife in the garden and a useful chapter on first aid and safety.
