Molly is a writer, professor and houseplant hobbyist. You may have seen her work at your favorite book shop. Maybe you’ve seen her plant content on Instagram or read her advice column on Apartment Therapy.
However you got here, welcome to the literary greenhouse.
Molly Williams is the author of Jane Austen’s Garden: A Botanical Tour of the Classic Novels; The Junior Plant Lover’s Handbook: A Green-Thumb Guide for Kids; How to Speak Flower; Taming the Potted Beast: The Strange and Sensational History of the Not-So-Humble Houseplant; and Killer Plants: Growing and Caring for Flytraps, Pitcher Plants and Other Deadly Flora.
Molly lives in New England with her wife and children, but spends an ample amount of time on her family’s farm in Southern Illinois, where she was raised.
She is an avid houseplant collector, gardener, florist, and teacher of many things, including writing.
If you would like to reach her, she’s probably in a greenhouse somewhere, or you can visit her Instagram — @theplantladi.
