Book review: The Plant Parent Guide

Beth Chapman's new book shows how to create a beautiful plant-filled home.

Plant Parent Guide

Leaf Envy founder Chapman takes us from being a plant parent to being a plant fanatic. Leaf Envy is an indoor plant supplier and design installation agency.

She is also an advisor to the UK indoor plant supplier Horti House and as such is at the forefront of the trend towards houseplants.

The book suggests the backdrops are perfect for Zoom, and indeed perfect for Instagram, again showing Chapman's on-trend message.

Chances are you have a house full of plants now, so Chapman focusses on how to arrange them, propagate them and how to keep them alive.

We go through the seaons, each room of the house, the health benefits and unusual varieties.

This all adds up to an invaluable guide to making the most of your collection.
