What a wonderful organic gardening book for the indoors. My houseplants are thriving, and I love it! I was amazed at how well they have responded without the use of synthetic chemical fertilizers. This book is a must for all houseplant owners. The illustrations are lovely and the content very informative. I highly recommend it for all gardeners. From choosing plants, to watering, and dealing with diseases, this book has it all.

I love gardening, but while enjoying lots of success outdoors, nurturing healthy indoor plants has been a challenge for me. They never stayed alive! Then I went to a gardening seminar at a local nursery and Julie Bawden Davis was speaking. I wasn't planning on buying her book but after hearing her speak and learning how knowledgeable and down to earth she was, I bought the book and now am the proud owner of a signed copy! The best part is, I actually have live houseplants now, having taken the great advice in her book. I feel good that I am not using harmful chemicals in my house. I also like the illustrations which are said to be drawn by her daughter, which adds to the charm of the book. I highly recommend this if you have a black thumb regarding indoor plants or even if you have a green one.

I keep going back to this book time and again as a reference for my many questions. It is challenging and informative, but is also written for those of us who have had less experience in organic gardening. This book makes a great gift. I have bought 6 to give as gifts and 1 for myself. What a delightful way to enjoy the art of indoor gardening.

I've just started learning how to grow indoor plants organically, and I'm really enjoying this book. It's well-written, incredibly interesting, and easy to understand. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in learning how easy it is to grow an indoor garden in an environmentally safe way.

Thanks to Julie Bawden~Davis' knowledgeable tome, I am able to keep my plants alive in a pesticide free manner. Healthier for my plants, for my lungs and for my pocketbook!

After reading the first paragraph of this book I realized Julie Bawden-Davis' passion for organic houseplant gardening. Her explanations of horticulture terms are presented in a manner that's easy to understand, witty, but very concise. She includes info on the basics of organic care (soil content, feeding, etc.) for all plants, while also focusing a section on specific plants and their care. Even if one chooses not to adopt organic practices for houseplants, this is still an excellent reference for how to understand the needs of your plants.

I'm a professional gardener. Lawnman. I'm enjoying the book. For the beginning gardener this would be an excellent place to study indoor plants and the various needs of all plants.
