        With the weather warming it's time to spruce up the garden. Haggvik, an engineer-turned-gardening expert debuts the English translation of her Swedish book to U.S. readers. Projects are many and widely diverse, from bentwood to pavers to masonry, and wire work to stained glass. Each design lists materials with only metric measurements but the instructions are well illustrated. Unfortunately, some of the plants recommended are not available in North America. This book tries to cover too many projects at wildly varying degrees of difficulty. Also, while the wirework projects are appealing others are less original, such as the stained glass and wall building. VERDICT There are some fresh designs offered here, but the skills needed to accomplish the projects are better learned from specialty books such as Jim Long's Making Bentwood Trellises, Arbors, Gates & Fences, Sherri Warner Hunter's Creative Concrete Ornaments for the Garden, and Pat Sagui's Landscaping with Stone (2d ed.). Only for larger collections.
