Publishers Weekly

My journey in greenery began when I first visited Terrain back in 2011. Seeing the beauty they created, curating and designing spaces with plants, inspired me to start down the path Im on today. Their team is among the absolute best at understanding and caring for plants, and this book is a must-have!
