Trade Review“Prepare to feel inspired after reading Kamili's all-too-relatable book illustrating how the plant hobby offers a respite from the burnout of hustle culture. This book is perfect for those looking to take their plant care more seriously and take their lives more lightheartedly." * Lindsay of alltheplantbabies.com *
“
Happy Plants, Happy You does a great job illustrating the life of a plant parent. Kamili really brings readers in by sharing personal accounts around her successes and failures with plants. A nice bonus was how the book brilliantly demonstrates leading a life of intentionality and pursuing things that make you passionate with statements like "why do we stop daydreaming at a certain age." There are also a wealth of accessible plant care tips and tricks featured so that plant people of all experience levels have practical knowledge to take with them as they continue their plant parenthood journey.” * Tyler from @thatplantguy_ty *
"A fun, inventive, and worthwhile addition to any library and for all sorts of plant parents. This is much more than a book about caring for houseplants." -- Sarah Filiberto * Library Journal *
"This book takes plant life to the next level. The relationship Kamili Hill has with plants is equal to what goes into her personal life." * Washington Gardener *
