The Hidden Histories of Houseplants: Fascinating Stories of Our Most-Loved Houseplants - Alice Bailey

Alice and Maddie Bailey quite literally hail from a London plant and flower dynasty - their grandfather was a Dutch flower merchant and nursery owner, and their mother the celebrated horticulturalist and author Fran Bailey - Maddie and Alice Bailey head up Forest London, a cult plant and homewares shop with two sites in South London, along with a flower shop. With a lifelong and in-depth knowledge of houseplants, the sisters sell anything from the Insta-ubiquitous monstera to the kinds of cacti that the ever-growing plant-nerd community hunt high and low for. nTheir first book, The Green Indoors, was published by Hardie Grant in May 2021.n
