Houseplants for a Healthy Home

Houseplants for a Healthy Home

What's to love: Beautifully illustrated hard-back book about plants that as the subtitle says will Help You Breathe Better, Sleep Better, and Feel Better All Year Round.

What does it do: The writer -- master gardener Jon VanZile -- not only tells how to take care of houseplants, but writes about plants that are good and useful for the grower from cleaning the air to using in tinctures and tonics. The book includes a glossary of terms and an appendix which organizes plants into groups of what they can be used for. Each entry for a houseplant gives a description of the plant, how large it will grow, the health benefits of the plant and growing instructions and tips. The book sells for $17.99.
