"Summer Rayne Oakes, an urban houseplant expert and environmental scientist, is the icon of wellness-minded millennials who want to bring nature indoors, according to a New York Times profile.

Seeing the world from a plant's perspective, you'll learn to trade modern consumerism for sustainability, and become a caretaker for our planet. -- adapted from jacket
