Just started it and so far amazing!! All the perks that come with this book is just an extra bonus! I love Summer and her passion for plants. She has inspired me and I’m sure so many others! Get this book for real it’s a good read just sit outside in some shade near some nature and read. This book will inspire you I promise ! :-) Gives a good back story of her life and the back story of many plants. It talks about design and care— going in depth on water and soil and... just about everything! 💛

So Pretentious, With No Real Information

Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2020

Verified Purchase

This book was a big disappointment. As someone who has always kept tons of houseplants, I thought that this would be an enjoyable read. Wrong. The writing is so pretentious and it seems as though Summer Rayne had a field day with her new thesaurus. "Alabaster snow." Gag. I almost put it down half-way through the introduction. It's too lofty, and gives hardly any information on actually caring for plants. I finished it in an afternoon, hoping that I would eventually come upon something useful, but I never did. Half of it isn't even the author's own writing, just a collection of quotes from people talking about how their plants have enhanced their lives in some way. Some people may like it, I however felt it to be a huge let down.

This highly anticipated book is finally here!

If you have been following Summer as long as I have, you understand the torture of anticipation as I waited for my pre-sale purchase of "How To Make A Plant Love You" to be shipped and delivered. My plan was to read this immediately and write a review, but, unfortunately, my region of South Louisiana has been devastated by by back to back flooding and a major hurricane within a few weeks time, so my "downtime" has been almost non existent. And, to add to the strife of these already difficult times, my hundreds of plants, including houseplants, have suffered too. Finally being able to finish this book encouraged me to keep going and have faith in my botanical abilities to get everything thriving again.

As much as Summer has enriched my inner plant loving soul, I feel like it would be disrespectful to offer anything less than an honest review of her first book.

This book is many things beneath it's covers...part memoir, part info manual, part inspirational guidance, etc, etc... Even the technical aspects were written with an eloquence that could only come from an intense passion for it's subject.

To my surprise, and slight disappointment, there are no photos in this book. This was not a huge issue for me since I follow Summer's videos and see her beautiful botanical capabilities almost on a daily basis. Although, her passion comes through the pages and captivates the reader in a way that makes you forget the lack of photos.

I suspect, and look forward to, this being the beginning of Summer taking on the new title of "Best Selling Author"... hopefully with many more books to come...

BEST PLANT BOOK EVA

Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2019

I zoomed threw this book sooo fast! I couldn't put it down. Summer (the author) really made it like a novel. It talks about so many different things but the main point is open your mind to nature, care and understand it, and lastly preserve it. It is not like a "normal" plant book, i believe her intentions aren't to teach you how to grow plant successfully but to understand plants and nature on another level. I really recommend this book for everyone but ESPECIALLY as a gift to someone who isn't the most observant of nature; it will open their minds.

Having a wonderful time reading

I'm having a wonderful time reading Summer's book, 'How To Make a Plant Love You', and have participated in the #PlantShopPubCrawl in my local neighborhood when it was going on. I'm a new plant enthusiast who was looking for advice on caring for houseplants in a more thoughtful way, then found this piece to be much more with the storytelling, science and memoir aspect.

Been a fan of Summer Rayne's Plant One On Me YouTube channel for a while, so super excited for this book. Here she shares thoughts about how we can interact with plants in ways that will enrich our lives and help us support our environment. If you become fascinated with houseplants this is a great book to inspire you to apply that love to other areas of your life. Super informative, and filled with practical advice on actions we can take to deepen our plant love.

(Also, for those who don't know her work this isn't a plant care how-to. You can get plenty of help with that topic on her YouTube channel or via her on-line masterclass.)

I’m definitely all about the message this book sends. I love the approach the author takes when acknowledging the plants around her. The intro to the book is so beautiful it kind of blew me away. My only qualm is just how repetitive this book can sometimes be.

A perspective that invites sensitivity, appreciation and depth for the plant world

Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2019

Verified Purchase

I think I can speak for a lot of people that Summer Rayne, through her book and her postings on YouTube and Instagram, has not only changed my perspective on plants, but has made me appreciate and understand them on a whole other level. She’s like the female equivalent of David Attenborough—but for the plant world!

Her enthusiasm is infectious on screen and in person. But what I loved most about “How to Make a Plant Love You” is the sensitivity she strikes in the book. Some people may initially think that her book is strictly a practical guide, like a lot of what she covers on her YouTube or Houseplant Masterclass, but this actually in a way goes deeper than that and I would say gives me a deeper insight into who she is as a person.

She somehow manages to elegantly and eloquently bring in personal stories together with science-based information and stats and common sense knowledge and tie it all together into a really neat bow. When I finally read/listened to the entirety of her book (I should note that I actually got both the physical book and the audible version because I sometimes have trouble reading, and the audio version is really well executed too), I didn’t think it was going to be what it was, and then I realized after having gone through it, I got so much more out of it. Thank you for putting out such great information and writing.

Spirit of the Forest

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 29, 2019

Despite the title, this isn't just a book about plants. It is a book about our physical, mental and spiritual connection to plants and nature in general. It is a book about our self care through the caring of plants. It is a spiritual jouney. It is a history of plant keeping. It is inspiring and life affirming as Summer always is.

A beautiful book with a purpose.

I advice you to buy the physical book. The quality is unique, the illustrations are beautiful and it was written with the purpose to make you stop and think about the people and the nature around us. This book also helps you to see your special role in God's creation. You are here for it. And it is here for you. Holding this book is a real experience of mindfulness.

A Lovely Read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 17, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is a lovely keepsake book and would make a wonderful gift for any plant lover. Some people have mentioned the title is deceiving and while I fully understand that, the concept is all about the psychological impact/benefits that plants in our immediate environment can offer us. The personal stories are moving and instantly make you feel you aren't alone in your obsession for all things green! Additionally, Summer backs up her writing with many interesting case studies. If you love watching Summer on her YT channel, you'll no doubt benefit immensely from this book.

I love how this book made me realise the powers our greeen companions aka the plants have in helping people overcome personal problems. Now I am aware that its not just me who feels great surrounded by the green beings. This book is not trying to give a single recepie how to look after the plants but helps understand how ro become friends with them and how to listen to them and their individual needs
