       FOREWORD

      Green décor is on the rise: the tiniest windowsills are now covered in plant life. Our houses are not far behind: they host original terrariums, mini vegetable gardens, hanging gardens, and unique arrangements. These little green touches in every room of the house and out on terraces and balconies are trendy and refreshing. You can create a small relaxing oasis, stage an indoor garden, or simply display your green creations.

      The one thing all these ideas have in common is that they are simple to create and their upkeep is often minimal. Plants are timeless, making them a virtual guarantee of success no matter your personal style. All the different plants presented in this book can be easily found in large garden centers, and many can be acquired from local fellow gardeners (sedum rosettes, different echeveria species, cuttings of spider plant, discarded strawberry plants, a piece of helxine divided from a large clump...).

      Plant containers, on the other hand, are undergoing a revolution: long gone is the age of the basic terracotta pot. We can recycle, repair, transform, and repurpose run-of-the-mill objects to create new and interesting homes for plants. Anything is possible—all you have to do is imagine it! Whether you prefer cacti, succulents, vegetables, green plants, or flowering plants, these 50 inspirational arrangements, quirky and totally contemporary, will awaken the creative gardener inside you.
