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)
*** A stylish addition to the current craze for indoor greenery,
this is as much about how you use plants as an integral part of
contemporary decor as how to keep them alive and well. - The Sunday
Times Houseplants are hot, and creative interior planting is
becoming increasingly easy to achieve. The new wave of unusual and
dramatic indoor plants is as much about decor and statement as
greenery. Used aesthetically, as a focal point and sculptural
element in interior design, indoor gardening is not just about
possessing or growing a plant, but about using it as an accessory
combined with other objects to create a particular style and mood.
In this much-needed book, now reissued with a new cover and updated
source directory, Ian and Kara show you how to transform your home
with plants and tells you which plants will work best where and how
to care for them. From strikingly geometric terrariums to pretty
hanging baskets, practical herb pots and colourful window displays,
this book is packed full of exciting and gorgeous ideas. Specially
commissioned photography by Nick Pope throughout proves that
bringing the outdoors in really is the best form of interior
design.
