Summer Rayne Oakes is an environmental communicator and entrepreneur whose work focuses on health, wellness, and sustainability. She founded Homestead Brooklyn, Plant One on Me, and the Houseplant Masterclass, a website, weekly YouTube series, and online course to help people become more attuned to nature in the city. Her work has been featured by many media outlets, including CNN, The New York Times, Vanity Fair, and Inc.
Summer Rayne Oakes keeps over 1000 live houseplants in her tiny Brooklyn apartment. She even installed a sub-irrigation system and helpful watering hacks, such as a 150-foot expandable hose that connects to pipes under her kitchen sink, so she only
has to spend thirty minutes a day tending to her plants—an activity that she describes as a “moving meditation.” Her platform attracts wellness-minded millennials longing to bring a part of nature indoors.
“How to Make A Plant Love You” is the perfect book for plant-loving millennials and anyone else looking to cultivate a bit of greenery within their own concrete jungle - and capture the calming joy that can come from tending to our leafy friends.
