"I've always wanted to be a plant person. Instead I was more of a kill-everything-I-touch person--until this book! It's easy to follow, lively, and inclusive, and there's even a journal in the back so you can keep track of your plants' needs. Plus it includes a list of beginner plants and whether or not they're toxic to pets (which is useful if you, like me, live with a cat whose goal in life is to chew on things he's not supposed to). Thanks to Sabharwal, I'm now the proud owner of the thriving, very much alive Cyndi Laufern, and soon she'll have lots of siblings. If you want to love plants but don't have a natural green thumb, this is the book for you."
