Not everyone has access to outside space or what we traditionally
think of as a garden, but we all have window ledges, shelves,
stairways and unloved spots in our homes. My Tiny Indoor Garden is
bursting with exciting ideas and savvy solutions to help you
transform any indoor nook or cranny into a peaceful plant paradise.
Whether you're looking for a mini kitchen garden or a sun-loving
terrarium, we've unearthed an amazing collection of indoor and
covered spaces. Among the 20 gardens featured in the book you'll
find a jungle in a south London sitting room, a colourful cacti
collection and a conservatory come orchid house. You'll pick up all
the best tips and tricks as each indoor gardener shares their
small-scale expertise, from using an array of bottles and jars to
create a display of tiny botanical treasures to turning an antique
chair into a lavish plant pot. Packed with practical advice, the
latest title in Pavilion's exciting gardening series also provides
pointers on key aspects of green interiors - from caring for leaves
to propagating succulents. Plus, practical projects will help you
make the most of every inch, whether you decide to master the art
of kokedama or create your own terrarium. Blur the line between
your indoor space and the great outdoors, get inspired, let your
imagination grow and enjoy your tiny indoor garden.
Hands up if you've killed a plant? Yep, me too. It's no secret that
we've all become plant obsessed, but do we really understand how to
look after them? I am not a Professor of Botany, but having run my
florist and plant shop, Grace & Thorn, since 2011 I've learnt a
few things along the way. HOW NOT TO KILL YOUR PLANTS is about
taking the hocus-pocus out of plants and flowers and enabling you
to understand a plant's needs in order to know where to place and
how to style them, but most importantly how to keep them alive. I
get asked every type of question you can imagine and I have written
this book to answer them. Watering can down, it's time to go back
to the roots. Keep it green. Nik x (AKA The Agony Plant)
An illustrated guide to the houseplants you need for clean and
fresh air when you're stuck at home How clean is the air you
breathe? Plants are the lungs of the earth: they produce the oxygen
that makes life possible, add precious moisture and filter toxins.
Houseplants can perform these essential functions in your home or
office with the same efficiency as a rainforest in our biosphere.
In this beautifully illustrated guide, noted scientist Dr Bill
Wolverton shows you how to grow 50 plants that filter the most
common pollutants, making it easy for you to purify the
environments that impact you the most.
