About the Author:

Suzi McLaughlin's passion for working with paper began at Falmouth Art College. The bold originality of her final degree show caught the attention of the Gardeners' World team, who commissioned her to create a life-size paper garden for BBC Gardeners' World Live Show, for which she was awarded an RHS gold medal. She has since created installations and bespoke items for Jo Malone's flagship London store, Harvey Nichols, Harrods, John Lewis and the magazines Elle and You and Your Wedding.

A follow-up to the widely popular Flower Recipe Book, The Plant Recipe Book is the next great thing in interior plant design, providing simple steps showing anyone how to create stunning living plant decor. Each one of the 100 “recipes” specifies the type and quantity of plants needed; clearly numbered instructions detail each step; and 400 photographs show how to place every stem. Traditional pots and plant containers are used, but so are less conventional vehicles and methods, like shutters and planting under glass.

A basic how-to chapter provides planting techniques, tools and materials list, sourcing and plant care information, and expert advice.
