"I recommend Catherine Horwood's Potted History...it's full of excellent detail and has taught me much."

Robin Lane Fox

"Anyone who is interested in houseplants will find this book fascinating.  Anyone interested in social history will find this book equally impelling.  I thoroughly enjoyed it."

"...a fascinating history of the houseplant that looks at how plants have been used inside the home through the centuries..."

"Catherine is a consummate garden historian with a talent for storytelling. This work reflects her considerable skill."
