Description: Plants are amazing. They remind you of deserts and mountains and forests, bring nature to your home and make you feel better. Who wouldn't choose to share a space with them-- but where do you start? The good news is there's a plant for every windowsill, door step or shady yard. Whatever your style -- from urban sleek to shabby chic to retro -- there are plants that will fit into your life and make it brighter. This book shows you how, by drawing on the work of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew -- its science, fieldwork, collections and horticultural knowledge. Katherine Price weaves the advice of gardeners and scientists, distilling the essence of Kew's expertise into an engaging practical guide. This no-nonsense, beautiful book is guaranteed to inspire everyone. -- Back cover.
