“Brimful with accessible and inventive ideas, this beautiful book provides an inspiring and practical guide to fostering calm and connectedness.”

Sue Stuart-Smith, author of The Well Gardened Mind

"I’ve long been a fan of Ro Co’s books, from the elegant and aspirational <i>House of Plants</i> to the stylish but practical <i>Root, Nurture, Grow</i>. With <i>Into Green</i>, Rose and Caro have embraced the kind of candid and personal tone that gives a real insight into their own perfectly imperfect relationship with plants – brown bits, crispy leaves and all. Beautifully typeset and illustrated throughout, <i>Into Green</i> is a joy both to look at and to read, the perfect companion on a journey deeper into the world of plants."

Andrew O’Brien, gardening coach and host of the Gardens, Weeds & Words podcast

"<i>Into Green</i> is a wonderful read with so many inspiring and practical ways to help you connect with nature. From deepening one's appreciation for plant ecosystems to becoming more observant with your houseplants, there is something for all plant lovers!

Darryl Cheng, creator of House Plant Journal
