Industry Reviews
"A good read. . . . This is the ideal book for your student son or daughter if they lack green fingers, as Katherine takes a youthful and upbeat approach to matching plants to personality types."-- "Country Living"
"As the resurgent interest in houseplants abounds, this book is bang on trend. It shows that with a little basic know-how you can find a plant or flower that will flourish in any of the different ecological niches found in and around the home."-- "Flower Arranger"
"I hope that through reading and enjoying this wonderful book, many more people will be encouraged to 'have a go'--to be enticed to share their living spaces with plants, to seek to understand their needs, to enjoy the successes, and to learn from minor setbacks. All of our lives are richer when shared with plants!"--Richard Barley, director of horticulture, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew "Country Living"
