Chloe Hurst, aka The Goth Gardener, was what many people considered odd as a child; her favorite things to do were garden with her mother and contemplate the darker side of life. As she developed into her goth self, she realized that gardening is goth, too. Gothic is a contemporary, high-end, inspiring gift for gardeners curious about the Victorian era, vampires, ghosts, death, and everything witchy and dark, with accessible information on what every person needs to create moody, eerie undertones, incorporate dark and poisonous plants, and give that Adam's Family vibe. There are rules, of course! Nothing vibrant, cute, modern, clean cut, minimalist, or god forbid...yellow. Black flowers are your best friend. In fact, there are countless dark-colored plants that give that spooky feel but still do what flowers do best, inviting pollinators and increasing biodiversity. Included are plant profiles, design tips, and inspiration, including information on the lore of gothic culture, and how to integrate undying dark plants (aka perennials), dark specimen repurchases (aka annuals), indoor companions (aka houseplants), and haunting decorations (aka outdoor decor/hardscape). For home gardeners and designers who are tasked with certain specific aesthetics, or just the goth-curious person who has always wanted to garden.
