Construct convincing flowers and foliage, paths, fountains and ponds, gates, and even graceful, trailing ivy climbing over incredibly detailed walls! It's all possible through simple instructions and extensive color photos that allow even beginners to create these miniature masterpieces, while advanced embroiderers will find their imaginations spurred and their skills powerfully enhanced. Multiple examples are featured, along with tips for every step of the process, from selecting materials to layering the stitches to planning your own miniature garden, from the historical to the fantastical.
