Inspiring children and their adult helpers to garden is what Karden is all about. Kinder Gardens: Games & Adventures written by Michael Glassman and Lisa Ely will make its debut at the Expo on Jan. 28. This is the second in a series of gardening books geared at children and their families. Each page is chock full of photos and creative ideas to keep everyone excited about gardening. Karden, the featured puppet, stresses a new approach to healthy eating through outdoor gardening activities. The concept is simple. If you grow it, you will eat it.

A filigreed gazebo turns this side yard in Davis, California, into an enchanting setting for alfresco dining. The airy, 11-foot-tall, rusted-iron structure was found at a local nursery for less than $1,000, a candle chandelier and a pair of tall candle stands were added for nighttime ambience. To make an intriguing "rug," the landscape designer glued 12-inch mosaic marble tiles to cast concrete squares, filling spaces between them with decomposed granite.
