Inspired wisdom for gardeners based on a plant collector's dreamy, four-season greenhouse.

A greenhouse is every gardener's dream. Especially in colder climates, when you have to wait all winter until the garden wakes up again. A greenhouse makes it possible to raise a huge variety of plants, including rare specimens from around the world. A greenhouse can be stylish, a place for year-round experimentation, a showcase of color, a space to start plants that eventually go into the garden, and a tropical refuge in the colder months just steps from your door. GREENHOUSE DREAMHOUSE is a lush tour of a plant collector's paradise that will inspire both the greenhouse owner who wants to go deep, and the everyday gardener who might not ever have a greenhouse but wants to dream. And why shouldn't we dream?

GREENHOUSE DREAMHOUSE introduces four types of greenhouse grower: The Artisan, The Horticulturist, The Collector, and The Utilitarian, and explores the various ways a greenhouse can be curated to meet a gardener's personal taste. With beautiful photos of both rare and familiar plants, and detailed information how they function under glass, Matt Mattus offers notes on projects like raising acacia trees from seed, training woody topiary, collecting bulbs varieties from around the world, how to style your greenhouse beds, how to propagate from cuttings, and so much more. This is a book for anyone who just can't get enough of plants, plants, plants.
