The book provides detailed instructions for the planting, care, and propagation of houseplants, as well as guidance on constructing and managing hotbeds, cold frames, and small greenhouses. It aims to help both novice and experienced gardeners extend their gardening efforts indoors during the winter months, enhancing their living spaces with vibrant greenery and the enjoyment that comes from nurturing plants. The beginning of "Gardening Indoors and Under Glass" introduces the reader to the joys and benefits of indoor gardening, particularly in winter. Rockwell emphasizes the importance of maintaining cheerful living spaces by incorporating greenery and flowers, especially as winter approaches. He discusses common mistakes in plant care, highlighting the balance needed between over-care and neglect.
