This is so much more than a houseplant care book! For one thing, the drawings throughout are delightful! Joel Rapp wrote for early TV, 70s sitcoms and variety shows before opening a hippie-boho plant store in the heart of Hollywood during the 70s, when aging stars like Lucille Ball would waltz in looking for plant advice and he has all these great stories throughout this witty book, plus you’ll learn a lot about how to keep your plants alive.
