In Making Plant Places, Susan McDiarmid provides all the innovation, projects and guidance you need to give your indoor and outdoor greenery the housing it deserves. Over 50 unique and accessible designs are outlined in step-by-step detail, making use of a huge range of techniques and materials to fit every taste and setting. Chock-full of unique beauty, quality and style, all of the projects are surprisingly low-cost. Diagrams and illustrations throughout, a full-color photo insert and plant care advice are also included in this complete and comprehensive book.

Experience the satisfaction of creating your own containers, boxes, baskets, hangers, stands and lush green havens for your home, balcony and garden. Your plants will love you for it, too.

Customer Reviews
Reviewer: Glenda Wilshire from Richmond, BC
Making Plant Places is a wonderful book for people who want to do more with their plants than simply stick them in pots on a shelf. The projects are really striking and so original -- you would expect to pay a fortune for them in the store, but the materials used are really inexpensive and the finished product is just beautiful. (Who knew that chicken wire could be so upscale?) I'm not especially artistic or crafty, but the directions were easy to follow and the end result is amazing. I particularly love the wall sconces and the fancy wire hangers because they're so unique and it really changes the look of a room to have plants hanging from the walls and ceiling, not just sitting on the coffee table. Gorgeous photos in the colour section, too. Highly recommended!
