Time-Life Encyclopedia of Gardening: Foliage House Plants - 1978

This handcrafted journal began life as a 1978 volume from The Time-Life Encyclopedia of Gardening, devoted entirely to the beauty and care of foliage house plants. Featuring a lush photographic cover filled with classic indoor favorites from patterned begonias to glossy philodendrons, this vintage book has been carefully transformed into a one-of-a-kind writing journal.

Inside, select pages from the original encyclopedia remain tucked between fresh blank sheets, offering glimpses of plant wisdom, care tips, and botanical illustrations as gentle creative companions to your writing. It’s a perfect place for garden planning, plant logs, seasonal reflections, recipe testing, sketching, or everyday journaling inspired by the calm rituals of tending living things.

As with all Red Barn Collections journals, each piece is individually handcrafted using authentic vintage books. No two journals are exactly alike. This volume blends nostalgic gardening heritage with functional, modern design — ideal for plant lovers, journal keepers, and anyone drawn to the simple joy of growing things.
