Book Description
If you picked up this book out of curiosity, you may have asked, “Hypertufa! Is that some kind of disease?” But if you are interested in gardening, maybe you’ve heard of hypertufa. Maybe you guessed that you can learn from this book how to make hypertufa troughs and containers that are unusual, rustic looking, and beautiful additions to your garden. Interesting containers for gardening are great, but creating with hypertufa can also result in some unique and artistic décor for yard and garden. And if you have the inclination, imagination, and desire, I’ll bet you can design and build hypertufa creations that other people will like to own, and they’ll buy them from you. For years I spent several days a week working in my back yard, mixing cement, peat moss, and other materials in the hot southeast Texas summer humidity or in the cold, wet winter months. Years later I still see my work occasionally in a yard here or there and even in a local antique shop or flea market. I had a lot of fun dreaming up new pieces and working on them with my wife, Cindi. Speaking of Cindi, working with and selling hypertufa is something she got me into. We loved working together on our hypertufa garden art, and we especially enjoyed meeting new people who were enthusiastic about our work. We were thrilled when customers bought it and placed it in their own gardens and yards. Hypertufa garden art isn’t for everyone, but for those who enjoy a cottage garden, a country garden, a Japanese garden or just having pieces in their yards that look old and hand crafted, hypertufa pieces are a welcomed and somewhat unusual addition. If you just like the idea of having something unique and handmade in your own garden, give hypertufa garden art a try. If you really like the creative side of things, try this. You might want to make it into a little business that provides some extra income while giving a fun outlet for your creative energy. Find out what hypertufa is all about.
