About this title

From the Publisher:

Today everyone wants to make the most of their outdoor space, whether it is a small patio, yard or mature garden. The furnished garden may contain grand and impressive statuary, fountains and follies, but just as visually exciting is the urban back yard paved and filled with stone urns and terracotta pots and featuring table and chairs for outdoor entertaining. Garden ornaments, furniture and accessories can be used as focal points on lawns, patios and walls. These objects can be moved around with the change of the seasons or your change of mood. Your "green" room can be decorated and redecorated just as you would inside the house.
