“My journey in greenery began when I first visited Terrain back in
2011. Seeing the beauty they created, curating and designing spaces
with plants, inspired me to start down the path I’m on today. Their
team is among the absolute best at understanding and caring for
plants, and this book is a must-have!”—Hilton Carter, author
of Wild at Home, Wild Interiors, and Wild
Creations“In their comprehensive tome, Lowrie and the Terrain team
have expertly captured not only the houseplant zeitgeist but also
the heart and soul of the industry by highlighting some of the most
iconic growers in the United States. Sumptuous photos—all done in
the impeccable Terrain style—will have your tongue wagging and
heart fluttering. Two green thumbs up!”—Summer Rayne Oakes,
