"Hilton Carter's love for plants is infectious... His lush and exuberant displays are inspiring reminders that plants can be so much more than neat little containers on a window sill."Grace Bonney, Founder and Editor-in-Chief, Design*Sponge
Take a tour through Hilton’s own apartment and other lush spaces, filled with a huge array of thriving plants, and learn all you need to know to create your own urban jungle. As the owner of over 200 plants, Hilton feels strongly about the role of plants in one’s home – not just for the beauty they add, but for health benefits as well ‘having plants in your home not only adds life, but changes the airflow throughout. It’s also a key design element when styling your place. For me, it wasn’t about just having greenery, but having the right variety of greenery. I like to see the different textures of foliage all grouped together. You take a fiddle leaf fig and sandwich it between a birds of paradise and a monstera and…. yes!’ You will be armed with the know-how you need to care for your plants, where to place them, how to propagate, how to find the right pot, and much more, and most importantly, how to arrange them so that they look their best. Combine sizes and leaf shapes to stunning effect, grow your own succulents from leaf cuttings, create your own air plant display, and more.

Wild at Home How to style and care for beautiful plants eBook Hilton Carter Reviews
- The photos in this book are beautiful, but seem to come from a place overflowing with funds. From a loft in a converted mill with 16 ft. floor to ceiling windows overlooking a river to designer furniture, and custom made leather aprons and ceramic watering canisters, I was left feeling not inspired but a little depressed that the book is tailored to a specific audience. It sure looks nice on my Ikea coffee table, though.
- Hilton Carter's new book on styling house plants is a beautiful object in and of itself. The photographs are inspirational, and the plants are luscious. But even more than that, Carter's "green passion" and enthusiasm is balanced by his knowledge and experience - I am already rethinking some of my own indoor green spaces to really showcase some of my plants in a way that better compliments my home and office. Excellent book!
- This book is perfect. I’ve been looking for an introduction to house plants that would include everything I need to know and this exactly that plus so much more. The pictures are incredible and you can tell how much work and dedication went into it. Can’t recommend it enough.

- I am in love with the plant styling of Hilton Carter's Baltimore home. What sets his home and plants apart from all the rest is he has arranged the plants in much the same way as an artist composes a painting or as an interior designer puts her vision into a room. Hilton is first an artist, a designer and creates beautifully curated spaces filled with plants in a non- cluttered way. His home is filled with life and warmth.
I pre-ordered Hilton Carter's, Wild at Home book the first day it became available of . For several years I've been following Hilton's Instagram feed, it's my very favorite feed on Instagram. I don't remember anymore how I first came across his work with plants, perhaps he mentioned Terrain or Terrain mention him. What I do know is Terrain in Glen Mills is one of my favorite places, it's a garden store and cafe, filled with plants that are so well curated and styled and a delight to all your senses. Soft music plays, candles are burning, there's usually a fire pit burning outside, it's a fabulous example of 'Scandinavian hygge.' This same magical atmosphere is what Hilton has created and shared in his new book. And you can create it too in your home.
I received my copy of Wild at Home, and started reading it that day and the next day. It's filled with so many helpful tips on plant care and even a section on making a plant hammock or a lamp terrarium! It's an easy read and a great reference book for plant care. The book is full in inspirational photographs from Hilton's home and also from some of his friends homes he has styled with plants.
I have the feeling that this might just be the first of many books the Hilton will create. I highly recommend this book (it's a 10!) to anyone who wants to care for their green friends in the best possible way. I look forward to many other books from Hilton and maybe even a coffee table book! - Absolute perfection! Not only is this book incredibly informative, but the photographs on each page are breathtaking. I cannot wait to leaf through these beautiful pages time and time again. It will certainly be displayed proudly on our coffee table. Congrats to Hilton Carter on this accomplishment
- Hilton Carter’s “Wild at Home†is so inspiring to me! As someone who’s a big thrifter and diyer i try to go for the cheapest options for my plant storage needs, by building my own shelves and macrame hangers. This book offers fun tips on how to arrange your home around plants. The plant hammock tutorial is one I will definitely be trying and though I already propagate I’m excited to have knowledge on how to do it properly with other plants such as the fiddle leaf fig and monstera. After reading this book I am already seeing my small apartment a lot differently and can’t wait to see the slow transformation of my space to plant heaven.
- I’ve been so excited to finally get this because, I’ve loved following his page for awhile now - so I was hoping I would love this book...now that I have it, I love it even more! It’s informative, it’s conversational and real - one of my favorite call outs he used pictures of plants that weren’t perfect - pictures of regular plants - not pictures of that one perfect leaf, the one that was shined up and prepared especially for taking a photo. As I said before, this book is real and it’s a must have! Hilton, you’ve out done yourself!
