One of the best feelings? Working on your own project, getting your hands dirty, watching ideas take shape, and finally being able to say: How cool did that turn out? I made this myself! Deborah and Florian Hucht simply love being outdoors, getting their hands in the soil, and constantly coming up with new DIY projects. Their specialty? Creating amazing things from items that others want to throw away: turning an old wardrobe into a practical outdoor kitchen? Done. And those dusty copper pipes? They become a stylish clothing rack. In their garden, they try out everything that comes to mind – and luckily, their little green patch is never really finished, as the creative ideas and inspirations surely never run out for them. But it’s not just that fantastic moment when they admire their finished project that drives them: it’s also about the bigger picture. Because buying less new, saving materials from rotting, and creating habitats for plants and animals is – even if just a small step – still a way to do something good for our environment.

I build my world the way I like it. What can you expect in this book? First, the basics. You’ll learn what you need (or don’t need) to fully dive into your projects, where to find materials affordably, and how to recycle items. And then it’s time to get started: with over 40 projects, you can unleash your creativity – in the garden, on the balcony, or in your apartment; whether the icy winter wind is whistling around your nose or you’re balancing barefoot through the zucchini patch. Deborah and Florian show how they transformed their garden or balcony into an exciting adventure world for their little one: complete with a mud kitchen.
