The bestselling authors of Urban Jungle delve into the many ways that nurturing plants helps nurture the soul
This new book by the authors of the bestselling Urban Jungle addresses the life-changing magic of living with and caring for plants.

Also included: real-world @urbanjungleblog followers’ FAQs; a section on plants and pets; and plant care for the different stages of a houseplant’s life. The focus is on using plants to raise the positive energy of every room in the house and to live happily ever after with plants.

Praise
“Judith and Igor take urban horticulture to another level with a profound understanding of how to integrate plants into our personal spaces, and to cultivate love and spread happiness.”
CALVERT CRARY
Executive director, FlowerSchool New York and FlowerSchool Los Angeles
“Plant Tribe is the definitive compendium of the thriving world of houseplants. What makes this book stand out for me isn’t the advice about watering and pruning or the (admittedly quite handy) room-by-room guide, but rather the encapsulation in a single volume of the creative potential, improved well-being, and sheer pleasure of living with houseplants.”

“Living with plants has changed my life: Taking care of my green friends helps me feel present in the moment and inspired to more observant and inspires me to be more observant and patient. PLANT TRIBE is full of fresh ideas on how to take plant love to the next level. I’m so glad this book exists!”

“Igor and Judith’s first book, Urban Jungle, is one of my favorite books about decorating with plants, so I couldn’t be more thrilled that they’re following up with Plant Tribe. As an ardent lover of all things green, I found (in the pages of Plant Tribe) inspiration and insight into caring for and designing with plants, and for living better through the healthy benefits of having plants in your home.”

About Urban Jungle Bloggers
When Igor and Judith met over coffee in Paris and talked about design, styling and travels, they soon realized that they had one mutual passion: living with plants. That was the moment when they decided to start a monthly series on their blogs where they would interpret one green topic individually. They called it Urban Jungle Bloggers™. Immediately after the first posts, in September 2013, they had such a big response from their readers and many of them wanted to participate, so they decided to open it up to other bloggers too. That was the moment when Urban Jungle Bloggers™ truly started. Knowledge was shared, inspiring DIY’s were featured, styling tips exchanged. New blogposts were gathered on the Urban Jungle Bloggers website and via Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter. The community kept growing and the #urbanjunglebloggers hashtag on Instagram quickly became one of the most popular houseplant-related hashtags. Through the years it grew into the wonderful green community that it is today.
In September 2016 they launched their first book in English and in German, called Urban Jungle, Living and Styling with Plants. They take the reader on an inspiring voyage through five green homes across Europe, share plant styling ideas and DIY projects for plant lovers created by 18 selected international Urban Jungle Bloggers, and they feature plant profiles of 10 popular houseplants with handy plant care tips and unusual plant trivia. Urban Jungle was very well received (it sold out in a week) and turned out to be a bestseller that has been published in 10 different languages. Read more about the Urban Jungle book HERE. While writing their first book, Igor and Judith decided to document the process and share highlights from the green community via their new @urbanjungleblog account on Instagram. Twice a day they share the most inspiring photos tagged with the community hashtag #urbanjunglebloggers, gathering over 960.000 followers to date. As far as the “Urban Jungle” trend goes: Igor and Judith don’t believe living with plants is a mere trend. In recent years houseplants became part of people’s lives and are here to stay!
