Does your busy life cause you to neglect your houseplants?
There are 14 plants in this book just for you!
House Jungle: A Guide to Becoming a Successful Indoor Gardener! is a cheerful new book containing the type of information a person needs to green up their living space. It is perfect both in content and in size for homeowners, apartment residents, dorm dwellers, and RV enthusiasts whose home is on four wheels.
Written and playfully illustrated by designer Annie Dornan-Smith, House Jungle is a helpful guide for indoor gardeners. Houseplant enthusiasts will learn:
- The benefits of houseplants
- How to start an indoor garden
- How to decorate with houseplants
- How to care for houseplants
- Where to buy houseplants
- How to make more houseplants
Indoor gardeners will also learn about fourteen plants that can tolerate low light and a little bit of neglect. This is a good starter list for anyone who doubts their ability to maintain a thriving indoor garden.
While Dornan-Smith surely had homeowners in mind when writing House Jungle, I think this book is also a good resource for teachers interested in bringing houseplants into the classroom. Written and illustrated like a sketchbook, House Jungle features easy-to-follow text and instruction that promises to keep students engaged with the care of their classroom jungle. Plus its format can spark ideas and conversation about how students can track the growth of their indoor garden and keep a nature/science journal of their own.
Published just last week, House Jungle is available directly from the author (for UK readers) and from your local independent bookstore (for US readers).
