Description

DeepL Translate

The desire to cultivate indoor plants is shared by all of us. Houseplants are more than mere decoration: they improve our moods, can be used to treat ailments, and reflect our ever-evolving relationship with nature. Sarah Gerrard-Jones masterfully explores the psychology behind our attraction to houseplants, and the benefits of keeping plants in our homes, from the healing qualities of biophilic design to the philosophy of care.

Practical sections provide fundamental advice on looking after plants and nurturing them back to life, and she also advises on buying plants and the perils of mass production, so that we can all acquire and grow houseplants sustainably.

Sarah Gerrard-Jones is a presenter on ITV’s Alan Titchmarsh’s Gardening Club and a contributor to BBC Gardeners’ World. Her expertise is regularly featured in publications such as BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine, The Sunday Times, Gardens Illustrated, and Living etc. Sarah is the founder of the Plant Rescue Box, an RHS-backed initiative aimed at reducing the number of plants discarded by retailers.
