From the visual variety of foliage to the wide range of artfully
designed pots and planters, keeping houseplants is an addictive
hobby that's enjoying a renaissance in popularity. In Plant
Inspiration Frame-Ups, 50 beautifully illustrated affirmation cards
derive wisdom from the world of indoor plants, with each card
featuring clever plant-art interpretations of classic phrases.
"Don't be afraid to take up space" is juxtaposed with a monstrous
monstera plant engulfing a living room; "Take a moment to breathe"
features a collection of air plants suspended in hanging planters;
and "Create something" comes alive with an illustration of a spider
plant sprouting many pups. Bright, whimsical, and uplifting, these
cards call out to be displayed, and the Frame-Ups format makes it
easy to do just that. With a pull-out tabletop frame included, you
don't need to have a green thumb to display your favorite saying or
swap it out for another whenever you need fresh perspective.
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.
Succulents offer dazzling possibilities, requiring only minimal

as practical as it is inspirational. Designing with Succulents

recommendations; and profiles of 50 easy-care, drought-tolerant
companion plants. Featured gardens from designers and creative
homeowners show the stunning potential of these otherworldly
plants. Lavishly illustrated with nearly 400 photographs, you will
