TOM GARD'S NOTE BOOK One of the best ideas I have seen for a garden trellis in a small backyard combines the trellis with a corner garden seat. It was most attractive. Have taken away the bareness from the front steps with plants in boxes on the veranda pillars. Two designs are shown. These are built around old tin biscuit boxes in which plants or ferns are placed. Christmas is still a long way off - but my sister is thinking of it, Found her making very attractive jewel cases as gifts for some of her friends - out of tin powder boxes and card-board cheese boxes. Now thoughts of gardeners begin to turn indoors. One idea I'm working on is a large fernery for my picture window - so that I'll be able to enjoy an indoor garden all winter. .....
