In classic DK style, photos lead the way in this beautiful and informative houseplant guide. Bailey, who owns the stores Fresh Flower Company and Forest in London, and horticulturist and magazine writer Allaway (Homes and Gardens; Garden Design Journal) begin with design basics (color, texture, lighting needs) and move on to projects (create an open-bottle terrarium or a desertscape), plant profiles, and plant care. Large images, easy-to-read type, a thoughtful layout, and lots of lists (items needed for a succulent wreath; golden rules for watering) make this especially good for novices. VERDICT An ideal addition to expand or freshen up the domestic gardening section in any library.
