If you admire plants, live in a small place and feel you have no green thumb, this book can inspire. Loads of ideas on small things you can do that can be very easy maintenance and look cool and sophisticated.

Beautiful simple ideas.

I really enjoyed this book because it gave simple ideas for bringing nature into your home. I bought it because I wanted something to read that was accessible in winter. When it's cold, I don't want to read about my lavish borders. I miss them too much. Instead, I would rather read about some form of gardening I can do now. Tabletop Gardens fit the bill.

A few good visual inspirations but not a lot of how-to instructions for people with a black thumb (like me)
