Love plants? Appreciate design? Want to combine the best of the two in your home?
The Plant Society Design Handbook brings together essential know-how for incorporating the ethereal magic of plants into your living spaces, where a thriving, perfectly situated kauri pine or a striking arrangement of succulents is just as important as an investment couch or a standout piece of art.
Plant Society founder Jason Chongue builds from the basics with a comprehensive guide to 80-plus of his go-to plants, the conditions they thrive in and how to nurture them for a long life. He reveals the secrets to successful garden layouts, sharing design-led templates that are adaptable to different spaces, and explains how to navigate plant grouping and placement, as well as style fundamentals including colour, texture, shape and scale.
With these foundations, you can explore a vast array of garden design projects – from verdant plant shelves to bold balcony arrangements to fuss-free front yards. Jason’s easy-to-follow garden blueprints take a design-first approach, focusing on how plants
relate to the surrounding architecture, materials and environment. His ‘kit of parts’ and cultivation tips mean each project feels achievable and zero knowledge is assumed.
Whatever the scale of your living spaces and ambition, Jason brings the rewards of a personal plant stylist into your home today.
