About Me
I’ve been writing and growing things for as long as I can remember—so writing about plants only makes sense!
My first book, Houseplants for a Healthy Home (Simon & Schuster), was an Amazon best-seller and featured in national magazines like House Beautiful and Elle Décor. Three books later, I’m excited to release The Flower Garden Deck this spring (pre-order now!).
When I’m not outside taking care of my orchids, I manage websites, work on turning out the perfect loaf of sourdough bread, and spend as much time as possible writing.

“A good houseplant is next best thing to a live-in housekeeper. They add a little pizazz and cosiness wherever you place them, and they can even help you get a better night’s sleep. With help from Houseplants for a Healthy Home … get ready to grab your gardening gloves and take a big, deep breath of fresh air (in your bedroom).”
“In these turbulent times, there’s one thing we can all agree on: Houseplants are magic. They can clean the air in your apartment and even grow in low-light conditions. And according to Jon VanZile’s new book, Houseplants for a Healthy Home, houseplants can even help you sleep better. Take that, iPhone app that tells me what I already know (last night, you tossed and turned!).”
“If there’s an indoor gardener in your life or you’re looking for a nice add-on to a growing gift, Houseplants for a Healthy Home by Jon VanZile provides details on caring for fifty different types of indoor plants.
