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.

Avoid the GOLD brackets. The finish is NOT accurate.
Color: G. Black Board & Gold Brackets, Number Of Shelves: 4, Size: 16-inch, Color: G. Black Board & Gold Brackets, Number Of Shelves: 4, Size: 16-inch
I bought the BLACK/GOLD shelves because the ones in the photo seemed to match the drawer pull knobs I bought (shown in photo below). The product arrived neatly packed in a 17x6x4in. box. I can only assume the shelves themselves are great, but I only made it as far as inspecting the metal brackets sitting at the top, they feel heavy duty, which is great, but the product's photo posted in Amazon shows a nice gold finish, and these brackets have a dark mustard paint finish (with a couple blueish speckles sprinkled into it), there's nothing gold/metallic about it. The paint color reminded me of long-gone diaper-changing days. These are getting returned asap.

Great shelves at an even better price
Color: Brown, Size: 15.7in, Color: Brown, Size: 15.7in
These shelves are great quality. Easy to hang and come with all the hardware you need. No matter what type of wall you are hanging them on. Saved me a bunch of space. Gave me a place to place some of my books without having to take up floor space with a bookshelf. Light weight material with a durable quality. Stable for lots of things. Fits my space needs

Beautiful shelves upscaled my living room
Color: Brown, Size: 35.5in
Love these! They are pretty and look expensive on my walls. I like them so much I bought a second set for my bedroom. I used these in a corner to create a gallery wall effect and it’s beautiful. They were super easy to put up, they are very light weight and I’m not sure how much they can hold when properly installed but they seem to be able to be stable and carry a decent amount of weight as mine are used as a gallery wall and are holding tons of photo frames. These aren’t adjustable once they are up so be sure about where you want them placed, they definitely upscaled my living room and decluttered my walls. I get tons of compliments when I have guests!

Very nice shelves
Color: Black, Size: 15.7in
These shelves look so good. I used them to hold my pop figures and it put together my room very nicely. It was good for the price as well with how many it came with and the quality of the shelves. If you need more space then you can put the shelves together side by side to have more room.
