Cuando la científica ambientalista Summer Rayne Oakes se mudó a Brooklyn, desde Pensilvania, sabía que traer la naturaleza al interior de su vivienda era la única forma de no perder la cabeza. Así que encontró plantas a la orilla de la calle, en cajas olvidadas, en los mercados de agricultores y en las tiendas locales de jardinería, y les dio un nuevo hogar en su departamento, que pronto convirtió en una verdadera jungla en miniatura. Ahora, Summer comparte sus conocimientos sobre el cuidado de plantas en ambientes urbanos en esta guía definitiva con la que aprenderás a: • Observar las flores y la vegetación a tu alrededor, incluso la que brota valientemente entre el pavimento agrietado. • Ver el mundo desde la perspectiva de una planta, cambiando el consumismo moderno por la sustentabilidad. • Identificar las especies adecuadas para tu hogar y crearles un ambiente similar a su hábitat natural.
When environmental scientist Summer Rayne Oakes moved to Brooklyn from Pennsylvania, she knew that bringing nature inside her home was the only way to prevent losing her head. So she found plants on the street side, in forgotten boxes, at farmers' markets, and in local garden stores; and she gave them a new home in her apartment, which she soon turned into a veritable miniature jungle. Now with this book, Summer shares her knowledge of plant care in urban settings in a definitive guide that will help you learn to: observe the flowers and vegetation around you, even the one that sprouts bravely through the cracked pavement; see the world from the perspective of a plant, exchanging modern consumerism for sustainability; and identify the appropriate species for your home and create an environment similar to their natural habitat.
