Of all my junk books, I think Garden Junk is the prettiest. Why shouldn't it be, filled as it with pictures of great garden junk--watering cans, birdhouses, garden paintings, fences, trellises, birdbaths, pots and vases, garden hats, plus old fashioned garden gates--all photographed in blooming gardens! Not only are there rescue ideas and inspiration, but lessons on how to moss a floor, make over rusting garden furniture, make art out of an old push mower or a garden gate, how to constuct a gardener's bullentin board and lots more! "From Arles with Love" is my favorite chapter filled with sunflower junk art. If you can't own Van Gogh's sunflowers, you can fake it with inspiring junk masterpieces!

Garden Junk (1997, Penguin Studio, 242 pages) is out of print. I have a limited quantity and would be happy to personally inscribe it for you or your garden junking friends. As a bonus, I'll send you a "I Brake For Junk" bumper sticker. Don't' delay… Garden Junk season is on the way!
