Peter McHoy brings his considerable gardening expertise to show how you can transform your garden the shortcut way. Use paving and gravel, trellises and arches, painting and lighting for same-day effects. Plant cleverly and with flair using quick-growing climbers and vivid pots of color, and make the most of your garden center while your flowerbeds become established. Readers can create their own dramatic makeovers by following ideas and projects that only take a matter of hours. Projects include breaking up a boring lawn, introducing a water feature or a pretty pond within the space of a weekend and using obelisks and ornaments to the best advantage. Instant Gardens is full of impact for impatient gardeners who want to spend time enjoying the garden rather than working in it.
