Introduction · · · · · ·
You live in the city, but have a heart that loves plants?

Even if you don’t have a courtyard, do you still yearn for a vibrant “little garden”?

DK Publishing and the world's leading gardening organization, the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), jointly created a comprehensive book on indoor gardening to teach you how to use plants to decorate your home and improve your happiness. No matter whether the space is large or small, and the light is bright or dark, there are always plants and furnishings that are suitable for you.

The book is divided into four parts: home plant design, home plant landscaping, plant archives, planting and maintenance. Whether you are a novice or an expert in plants, anyone who loves plants and gardening can find fun in this book.
