How Not To Kill Your Plants

by Nik Southern

Overview

Hands up if you've killed a plant?

Yep, me too.

It's no secret that we've all become plant obsessed, but do we really understand how to look after them?

I am not a Professor of Botany, but having run my florist and plant shop, Grace & Thorn, since 2011 I've learnt a few things along the way. HOW NOT TO KILL YOUR PLANTS is about taking the hocus-pocus out of plants and flowers and enabling you to understand a plant's needs in order to know where to place and how to style them, but most importantly how to keep them alive.

I get asked every type of question you can imagine and I have written this book to answer them.

Watering can down, it's time to go back to the roots.

Keep it green.
