Concrete is inexpensive (about $6 for a 90-pound bag), easy to work with and incredibly long lasting—and whatever you make with it just gets better with age. Concrete Garden Projects, by Malin Nilsson and Camilla Arvidsson, shows you how simple it can be to use this great medium to create beautiful yard decorations, even if you've never worked with concrete before. You'll learn how to mix the concrete, create molds, cast and even add fancy patterns to whatever you make using things like string, styrofoam balls and leaves. Choose from a wide array of decorative and useful items, from tealight holders (molded in a cupcake tin), hurricane lamps and flower pots of all sizes right on up to paving stones, birdbaths and an outdoor workbench.

Takes the guess work out of the equation! Easy to do projects! Yes my daughter ran away with this one too! I will have to start buying in duplicate. I highly recommend this book!

the instructions in this book are much better than other books covering the same topic.

This is a wonderful book chock full of great projests. It may not be the best for beginners in concrete work, as the authors are a bit blase about the actual compounding of the concrete, and I think a beginner might get confused or turned off if the formula failed. But, if you are a bit of an adventurous beginner, go for it as the projects are wonderful. If you've worked in concrete before, this book should definitely be in your library. It's really the uniqueness of the projects that makes this book so good.
