How to Make a Plant Love You by Summer Rayne Oakes

Summer Rayne Oakes keeps over 750 live houseplants spanning 400 species in her Brooklyn apartment. She is living proof that there's a strong psychological benefit to keeping plants. Taking care of other living beings is a basic human need. Urban Millennials with weaker community networks don't have the chance to do that. This book ties together all the obvious benefits of taking care of plants with a much bigger benefit: taking care of plants makes you a more life-giving person. Through colorful vignettes, Oakes shows how our chlorophyllous friends can be a gateway to a greater life.

Summer Rayne Oakes is an entrepreneur and environmental scientist whose work focuses on health, wellbeing, and sustainability. She started Homestead Brooklyn, a website and YouTube channel, to encourage people in the city get more in tune with nature. Many media publications have covered her work, including CNN, The New York Times, Vanity Fair, and Inc.
