Symbols are used to show suitable conditions, including low light spots, draughty corners and warm humid areas, for each plant. - A totally fresh approach to using plants within the home, giving a wealth of creative and inspirational ideas for displaying plants to complement the style of the interiors - Includes specially commissioned stunning full-colour photographs - Written by a leading garden designer and highly acclaimed author
