Many of us love plants . . . but it often feels like plants don't
love us back. For those people -- the people who have purchased
several "impossible to kill" houseplants, only to find them dead
mere weeks later -- there is The No Kill Garden, a charming
collection of plants to craft and share. The handcrafted plants
offered in this beguiling volume provide the sense of being
surrounded by green, luscious plant life, without having to worry
about that pesky watering. The No Kill Garden offers a wide variety
of plants, from mushrooms and flowers to vines and terrariums, and
a broad range of easy-to-follow crafts, including paper, felt,
needle-felt, knit, and crochet. The more than 30 projects in this
book are not just random flowers or leaves, either -- each of the
crafted plants is inspired by a specific variety and is accompanied
by a lively description of its main characters. Each of the plants
is structured for a beginner, so that anyone with an interest in
crafting can make them, and is paired with beautiful images of the
finished project to delight and inspire readers.
