HOUSEPLANT GARDENER IN A BOX by Jane Perrone

With expert advice from the Houseplant Gardener, watch your home come to life with flowers and foliage in a giftable box format

Nothing brings a room to life like the green of a thriving houseplant. Interior designers love them, and they make us happier and healthier, too. But anyone who’s watched a houseplant wilt, turn brown, and lose its leaves knows that good intentions and love aren’t enough. You need knowledge—and that’s where the Houseplant Gardener comes in, as a practically packaged set with 60 informative cards and a 32-page book.

Inside, author, journalist, podcaster, and now, houseplant-gardener-in-a-box Jane Perrone answers hundreds of questions, including: What sort of plants love a bathroom? How can you bring an orchid back into flower? What needs regular watering, and what doesn’t mind if you forget? What can you put on a sunny windowsill, and what will send foliage tumbling attractively from a shelf? Drawing on years of experience and research, her cards provide sensible, practical, and inspiring advice. The accompanying book will guide you through the process of selecting plants, and Cody Bond’s beautiful illustrations will inspire you along the way.

Jane Perrone, an obsessive houseplant gardener since the age of eight, has turned her passion into a respected expertise.
