Do you love the idea of houseplants but keep killing them anyway?

Written specifically for people with full schedules, irregular routines, and homes that do not look like interior design magazines, this book gives you a framework that works with your life rather than against it.
Inside, you will discover:
Your plants do not need perfection. They need the right start. This book gives them that.
