Landscaping – creating an outdoor room

Autumn is almost over - what better than a project to while away the cold days ahead and cast away the winter blues?

Cover of The Complete Guide to Landscape ProjectsWinter is a good time to work out a plan for next summer's landscaping. Try drawing it on a large piece of sketch paper; it can be very helpful.

Christchurch City Libraries have many books, eBooks and magazines on landscaping. Not just the garden type: books on deckings, paving, screens for privacy, outdoor furniture, how to make a built-in barbecue - you name it, we have it! And, yes, you can do it yourself. We have many handyman books and magazines as well as books on landscaping.

Have a chat to one of our many librarians and they will point you in the right direction. You will be all organised by spring and ready to enjoy the fruits of your labour by summer. It may just be good for your health too.
