From Booklist A more creative approach to junk transformation would be almost impossible to conjure. In fact, even the new objets d'art--boots cum planters, car-mirror chimes, and hoe-and-rake rejuvenations--take a well-disciplined, aesthetic gardener to appreciate and accept. In her first book, magazine stylist Mackenzie does a magnificent job in, first, convincing the reluctant exterior decorator to consider trash as potential treasure and, second, in educating all about perceiving beauty in the oddest of places. Every one of the 30-odd ideas contains elegant color photographs, along with visual and verbal assembling instructions. Neither is the practical ignored; the author reviews surface treatments for wood and metal and recommends a tool kit plus specific plants for specific places. How does your recycled garden grow?
