Wild at Home

Carter’s first book and the perfect introduction to his approach. Wild at Home takes you on a tour through his plant-filled spaces, sharing both the practical knowledge and the design philosophy that transformed his apartment into an indoor garden that went viral.

Why Start Here

This is Carter’s most focused and personal book. It covers everything a new plant parent needs: how to choose the right plant for your space, how to pot and repot, basic propagation, and fundamental care. But what sets it apart is the design perspective. Carter thinks about plants the way an interior designer thinks about furniture: where to place them for maximum visual impact, how to group different species, how to use hanging plants and trailing vines to add dimension to a room.

His follow-up books, Wild Interiors and Wild Creations, expand on different aspects of plant styling, but Wild at Home is where it all started and where the balance between care and aesthetics is most accessible. At 144 pages, it is a quick, inspiring read that will have you rearranging your shelves before you finish it.

What to Expect

A visual, design-forward guide to living with houseplants. Beautiful photography of real plant-filled interiors. Practical care advice presented alongside styling tips. Short and accessible. Best for readers whose interest in plants is inseparable from their interest in creating a beautiful home.
