Wild at Home: How to style and care for beautiful plants

This book is full of helpful tips for styling and caring for indoor plants. The photos are beautiful, and the advice is easy to follow, making it perfect for both beginners and experienced plant lovers.

I was excited to get this book as Hilton is from my neck of the woods, and his home is so beautiful and inspiring. I think this book gives healthy, useful, insightful information no matter where you are in your plant journey. For beginners, he lays out everything you need to know to feel comfortable getting started in raising plants. And for those of us who have had house plants for a while, this is welcomed guide that I will be referring back to for years to come. The photos are beautiful, and this is a book I will treasure having on my shelf! I highly recommend for anyone who is a lover of beautiful photography and aspiring or current plant parents!

I am in love with the plant styling of Hilton Carter's Baltimore home. What sets his home and plants apart from all the rest is he has arranged the plants in much the same way as an artist composes a painting or as an interior designer puts her vision into a room. Hilton is first an artist, a designer and creates beautifully curated spaces filled with plants in a non- cluttered way. His home is filled with life and warmth. I pre-ordered Hilton Carter's, Wild at Home book the first day it became available of Amazon. For several years I've been following Hilton's Instagram feed, it's my very favorite feed on Instagram. I don't remember anymore how I first came across his work with plants, perhaps he mentioned Terrain or Terrain mention him. What I do know is Terrain in Glen Mills is one of my favorite places, it's a garden store and cafe, filled with plants that are so well curated and styled and a delight to all your senses. Soft music plays, candles are burning, there's usually a fire pit burning outside, it's a fabulous example of 'Scandinavian hygge.' This same magical atmosphere is what Hilton has created and shared in his new book. And you can create it too in your home. I received my copy of Wild at Home, and started reading it that day and the next day. It's filled with so many helpful tips on plant care and even a section on making a plant hammock or a lamp terrarium! It's an easy read and a great reference book for plant care. The book is full in inspirational photographs from Hilton's home and also from some of his friends homes he has styled with plants. I have the feeling that this might just be the first of many books the Hilton will create. I highly recommend this book (it's a 10!) to anyone who wants to care for their green friends in the best possible way. I look forward to many other books from Hilton and maybe even a coffee table book!

This book is a wonderful indulgence that i am so glad i have to retreat to! its the actual book you want to curl up and read from that serene place you set up to escape all of the noise of daily life. The pictures are gorgeous, and the helpful learning about styling and caring for plants, and how they enhance our space is a true investment in well-being. Its such a pleasure to just be with this book. At a time when it can be tough to slow down during the week, grab this book and carry it with you!

Very beautiful book. As a follower of Hilton Carter's Instagram, the visuals were not a let down. However please note that the first half of the book is about Hilton's personal views on plant and space styling which are difficult to achieve on a budget. The second half does have some good notes on plant care, but if you're looking for a detailed plant care guide this won't be it. Lovely book for inspiration though, such as a windowsill cactus garden and plants to group!

Just what I needed to help organize my plant collection! So many great ideas

I’ve been following Hilton Carter on Instagram for a while now. It seems everywhere you look Houseplant books are popping up which can make it hard to distinguish one from another. (As a self proclaimed plant book hoarder they can be a lot of the same.) What I really loved and felt Hilton hit head on was the propagation information and lighting. There is a section of his book explaining light exposure and window direction. BRILLIANT. We all know southern windows are bright but it’s nice to have a quick reference for those pesky northern or northwestern windows. One thing Hilton is known for aside from his FLFs is his propitiation station. He easily explains the best way to propigate, and easy how-to steps. The rooting time chart is also a major bonus I haven’t seen included in other books. If you’re new to plants, this is a great book to learn the basics and dip your fingers into other areas of houseplant care. Beautiful photographs, helpful information, overall awesome book.

I wasn't sure about this book because some complained that few of us could afford the types of homes depicted, but I'm so happy I bought it, because I'll refer to this book again and again. While it's true that such homes may be beyond the reach of many, there's no reason why you can't draw inspiration from the beautiful photos and apply them to your tiny, humble abode. The colorful photos are more beautiful with book in hand than the quick review via the Look Inside feature. It's packed with photos of plants, pots, and design ideas that incorporate art, textiles, plants, and more. It also provides some basic info on plant care and propagation, although I would say that the main purpose of the book is inspirational and aspirational photos. I love this book.

WHY HAVE THIS BOOK: Good for beginners, very beautifully written and very simple to understand. Amazing images and very well instructed steps to go about various things if you are a plant lover in an urban space. WHO SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS BOOK: If your a more of a forest and community garden person WHAT ELSE YOU GET WITH THIS BOOK: The image quality and composition is worthy enough to be a coffee table book for your guest to go through. I love the fact, it is written so well, I will love to read the book, again and again, so many tips and tricks to take from the book. Do follow the guy on youtube to get one on one with him.

I saw this originally in a book shop and then decided to buy it! A wonderful book for those that love indoor plants and a very useful guide for someone to use to assist them in transforming a room or home! I still keep delving in and finding more things I missed previously....and the photos are wonderful!!
