First published in 2017, At Home with Plants is an inspirational yet accessible guide on how to transform your home with plants and incorporate them as part of the overall interior design scheme. It demonstrates how to create natural landscape features using houseplants and containers, as well as providing an in-depth guide to which plants work best in different rooms and environments—and how to care for them properly. As well as sharing the health benefits of having plants in the home.

Ian Drummond comments: I am so happy that the book has sold so well globally and hope that this new edition will bring in a new audience and they too will fall in love with house plants just as I did as a child. I think that plants are such an incredible way to bring nature and joy into the home.

Ian book 2017

Ian first joined the industry when he was 13, working weekends and after school at his local florist, caring for the house plants! This is now his 40th year in the industry and he has become one of the most influential experts in the house plant and interior landscaping world, gaining many awards and celebrity clients along the way, resulting in his peers giving him the accolade of 'house plant royalty'!

Houseplants are hot, and creative interior planting is becoming increasingly easy to achieve. The new wave of unusual and dramatic indoor plants is as much about décor and statement as greenery. Used aesthetically, as a focal point and sculptural element in interior design, indoor gardening is not just about possessing or growing a plant, but about using it as an accessory combined with other objects to create a particular style and mood.

In this much-needed book, now reissued with a new cover and updated source directory, Ian and Kara show you how to transform your home with plants and tells you which plants will work best where and how to care for them. From strikingly geometric terrariums to pretty hanging baskets, practical herb pots and colourful window displays, this book is packed full of exciting and gorgeous ideas. Specially commissioned photography by Nick Pope throughout proves that bringing the outdoors in really is the best formof interior design.

Get a little greenery in your life with this beautiful, practical guide to decorating with houseplants. At Home with Plants helps you select, plant, and display an array of easy-to-source, easy-to-care-for botanicals.
