Get ready for the Houseplant Revolution. What the world needs now is more green close by – and houseplants are the answer.
These aren’t your grandmother’s dowdy, dusty versions. These are houseplants with panache. These are plants that you don’t necessarily associate with windowsills. Have you ever thought of growing a perennial as a housemate, for example? Heucheras and primroses are just a couple of the unexpected houseplants recommended in this lecture. And we talk all about how to bust houseplants out of their plastic past and into a swank future.
What? You’ve tried and failed with houseplants? Here’s how to make your windowsill into a success story without quitting your day job. You and kangaroo paws are going to live happily ever after.
Tovah Martin has a passion for gardening, both outdoors and indoors. (She grows over 200 houseplants in her home!) She has published over a dozen books on gardening, writes articles for many publications, appears frequently on television and radio, and blogs at plantswise.com. She has won various awards, including The Garden Club of America's award for literary achievement and an Honorary Membership. Her passion for photography is evident in her many publications, including her book "The Unexpected Houseplant" (Timber Press, 2012), which she will share with us in a zoomed lecture, surely not to be missed.
Please note, this event will take place in person in Memorial Hall, however Tovah will be joining virtually to give her presentation to the group.
This program is co-sponsored by the Village Garden Club of Andover.
