Something rather wonderful occurs when the last flaming autumn leaves fall and turn brown when November steals in with quiet tones, and snow flurries dance through gray days. The indoor garden comes into its own. Jean Hersey, 1965

{HISTORY}

Across 128 pages, The Woman's Day Book of House Plants covers 191 varieties of plants, herbs, and flowers ideally suited for indoor environments. Way beyond just factual information, author Jean Hersey also shares colorful notes about each plant highlighting their distinct appeal, unique characteristics, and individual personalities.

Beautifully illustrated with watercolor art by Harry Marinsky, this book not only acts as a helpful guide when it comes to house plant selection and care but it also acts like your personal style advisor when it comes to displaying your plants in your space. Whether you enjoy just a few pots of greenery here and there or are striving for an indoor garden display packed with a variety of plants, Jean helps you decide what to put where and how they work most beautifully together. 

We love this book especially too because it includes a section on kitchen gardening that goes beyond the typical herb garden to include sweet potatoes, beets, carrots, pineapples, lentils and citrus fruits. 

Jean was a 20th-century freelance writer and author of many engaging books and articles on gardening and domestic life. She had a long-time career dispensing horticultural advice and information to the midcentury readers of Woman's Day magazine and worked in collaboration with them on several garden-themed books including The Woman's Day Book of Wildflowers published in 1960.

Bamboo Cutting Board Honest Review
Color: Brown, Size: 14.9"L x 0.6"W
After researching until blue in the face, chose this Bamboo cutting board set for it's style and the option of using as serving trays. More important for me was the 3-layer structure, juice groove and piece of mind of clean cutting, no plastic. Upon receiving and cleaning, I applied a coat of Food Grade Mineral Oil for safety. These are boards are not real thick but the quality is there and they look really expensive after the oil bath. 3 different sizes are perfect for my need and they look really expensive. Happy with my purchase.

Nice, sturdy, convenient cutting boards
My daughter and her fiance do a lot of cooking, and really like the quality and sizes of these cutting boards. I got a similar set last year, and I like how they have held up. I also like the holder. Just wash and oil them occasionally and they should last many years.
