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.
