Book Launching: The Houseplant Guide: How to Easily Select & Maintain Indoor Plants

Book Launching!!! 📚

I have been a gardener since the age of five and as I grew older, the desire to be surrounded by plants has expanded from the outdoors in. As my vast collection of common and rare houseplants has grown, it has rewarded me with a sense of joy and well being, as well as bringing a touch of the indoors inside. After writing five books pertaining to outdoor design, my friends, family and colleagues wanted to know why I had not written a book about indoor gardening. I am excited to finally say that I have! 

After two years of photographing my own houseplant collection as well as visiting nurseries, talking with owners, photographing and chatting about everything green, I have composed this comprehensive reference of over 120 selections of houseplants, including care requirements, maintenance tips and other important information. I am very excited to share my own experiences and to help others achieve the indoor collection of their dreams. Whether you have a green thumb or brown, and whatever your needs, there is likely a houseplant that is right for you!

Here is a little bit about the book:
