Great Books for Creative Indoor Gardeners by Lisa Koosis
Sure, all you really need to garden are plants, soil, water, a few extra supplies, and a green thumb. But for those looking for a little inspiration, why not add a few books to your personal library? So for some inspiration on the page, check out some of these titles...
Potted Histories; How to Make House Plants Feel at Home by Paul Simons and John Ruthven: Based on a British television series by the same name, "Potted Histories" brings an alternative approach to the subject of indoor gardening. Potted Histories delves into the general history of indoor gardening and houseplants, but it also ventures into individual histories of many popular houseplants. From their origin in the wild, to their place in the rich history of gardening, as well as the myths surrounding them, Potted Histories is a wealth of information on houseplants of all kinds. Best yet, Potted Histories shows enormous respect for plants as living things and not merely as household objects or interior decorations. This book is a must-have for the curious or history-minded indoor gardener.
Gardens from Garbage by Judith Handlesman: The primary goal of Gardens from Garbage is to show you how many of your kitchen scraps can be grown into unique and aesthetically-pleasing houseplants. From garlic to watermelon, from avocados to yams, Gardens from Garbage gives the average indoor gardener all the information he needs to successfully grow plants that aren't not going to be seen anywhere else. It's also a wonderful book for parents looking for indoor gardening projects to be shared with their children.
Bottle Gardens by Roger Grounds: It's easy to get bored when you're limited by the amount of natural light in your apartment or the restrictive space of a balcony or patio. Bottle Gardens offers up a wonderful idea for something new or, perhaps more aptly, something old that's new again...bottle gardens. Bottle Gardens touches on many aspects of these glass-encased gardens, from their history, to more eccentric uses such as fern columns, aquaterraria, and the propagation of plants in sealed bottles. It also, more importantly, covers the basics for those just starting out. It's a wonderful book for those looking for creative indoor gardening ideas.
How to Grow Fresh Air by B.C. Wolverton: A wonderful choice for an indoor gardener's bookshelf, How to Grow Fresh Air illustrates which houseplants help to purify the air in your home, removing common indoor pollutants. For health-conscious gardeners or those looking for a little something different, this is a great book.
These are just a few titles to get you started. There are a wealth of books out there on creative indoor gardening. From planting ideas to houseplant selection, there's surely a book for everyone.
