Whether you are after a minimalist or maximalist aesthetic, architect and plant whisperer Jason Chongue will walk you through the myriad possibilities when bringing life to your home spaces, inside and out.
The Plant Society Design Handbook is a book in three parts:
The Plant Society Design Handbook is a book in three parts:
- First, it presents pictorial guides to plants and planters. Defining their form and illustrating how they grow and matching planters to plants, textures and tones. It also talks through how to start; how to budget; how to establish the basis of your design.
- Second, it is a handbook of blueprints and recipes for people who consider plants an important player in a well-styled urban home but want expert help choosing and executing a vision. The 50 blueprints and recipes include illustrations, photography, floor plans where applicable, a kit of parts much like an Ikea installation guide, a shopping list (including plant types, planter shapes, potting mix types), and an ongoing care sheet. Examples include: a simple potted eco-system; potted cluster gardens; the minimal balcony; the Mediterranean balcony; the tiny terrace with herbs and citrus; the lush, narrow fence line; the indoor winter garden; the indoor hanging garden; the fresh living room; beside clusters; and the green workspace.
- Third, is the essential guide to a flourishing garden: pruning; deadheading; repotting; aerating; espalier; feeding for flower and produce; pest prevention; seasonality; understanding plant types; when to plant; and when to sow.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
After training as an architect and working as an interior designer, Jason Chongue founded The Plant Society in 2016 as way to merge his love of plants with his day job. His business has flourished alongside his profile, and he is regularly sought out to design gardens indoors and out, for private residences and brands. He has design studios and stores in Melbourne and Tokyo. Designer in the Garden is his third book - following on from the success of The Plant Society (2017) and Green (2019).PRODUCT DETAILS
