Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A stylish addition to the current craze for indoor greenery, this is as much about how you use plants as an integral part of contemporary decor as how to keep them alive and well. - The Sunday Times

Houseplants are hot, and creative interior planting is becoming increasingly easy to achieve. The new wave of unusual and dramatic indoor plants is as much about decor and statement as greenery. Used aesthetically, as a focal point and sculptural element in interior design, indoor gardening is not just about possessing or growing a plant, but about using it as an accessory combined with other objects to create a particular style and mood.

In this much-needed book, now reissued with a new cover and updated source directory, Ian and Kara show you how to transform your home with plants and tell you which plants will work best where and how to care for them. From strikingly geometric terrariums to pretty hanging baskets, practical herb pots and colourful window displays, this book is packed full of exciting and gorgeous ideas.

Specially commissioned photography by Nick Pope throughout proves that bringing the outdoors in really is the best form of interior design.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

At Home with Plants is praised for popularising terrariums as an innovative and stylish way to incorporate greenery into indoor spaces. Both Vogue and Martha Stewart Living commend the book for effectively introducing readers to the art of bringing the outdoors inside through the use of creatively designed terrariums.
