Once you start taking care of plants, you will learn to take better care of yourself, your loved ones and our planet. Enter the world of plants and discover how you can start creating your own green corner - both at home, in your mind and in your heart. With this inspiring guide, you will gain a whole new relationship with the plants around you and learn to: •stop and pay attention to the plants around you, even those bravely sprouting in cracked sidewalks •trust that plants are more than just pretty decoration • look at the world from the perspective of representatives of the plant kingdom and think about sustainability • serve plants by recognizing which species are suitable for your home and creating a natural habitat for them (bonus: not a single plant will die!) If you start caring for greenery , you will soon be engulfed in soothing joy. In addition to the obvious benefits of beauty and cleaner air, taking care of plants is a journey of mindfulness and much more: plants will help you minimize stress, lower your blood pressure, and give you a more positive outlook on the world in general. When I moved from rural Pennsylvania to Brooklyn fourteen years ago, I knew I would have to put a lot of creativity into making it feel like home. And so I started bringing plants to my new apartment that I found by the roadside, in long-forgotten flower pots, at farmers markets, and in local garden centers. I discovered a way to shelve, hang, tie, anchor and secure them to deal with the lack of light and narrow windowsills. Since then, I have taken care of more than a thousand indoor plants. I love my houseplants and I have learned how to take care of them so that they love me back. I wrote this book so that you too can appreciate plants - and the life among them.
