  Step into your garden and what do you see? With the right wall, fence, or hedge, it will look even better and be more functional. - Add privacy, create outdoor rooms, block noise and pollution, improve safety, increase property value, and even provide a microclimate for tender plants. - Evaluate your own outdoor space, then establish garden boundaries the right way, with these detailed facts on materials, construction, and growing conditions. For each type, you'll find specific projects, from building a dry-stack stone wall to setting up posts and pickets to planting an espalier fruit tree. Spectacular colour photographs present gorgeous design ideas for draping a fence with colorful climbing vines, nesting a rock garden into a wall, and cultivating plants that grow near, up, and even in the border. And, when you're done building, turn your practical structure into art with artistic and enhancement ideas!
