Reviews

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 I'm on today. Their team is among the absolute best at understanding and caring for plants, and this book is a must-have! --Hilton Carter, author of Wild at Home, Wild Interiors, and Wild Creations In their comprehensive tome, Lowrie and the Terrain team have expertly captured not only the houseplant zeitgeist but also the heart and soul of the industry by highlighting some of the most iconic growers in the United States. Sumptuous photos--all done in the impeccable Terrain style--will have your tongue wagging and heart fluttering. Two green thumbs up! --Summer Rayne Oakes, producer of YouTube's Plant One on Me and author of How to Make a Plant Love You
