Plants with Attitude

Plants with Attitude turns houseplants into sharp, dignified characters — funny, melancholy and often more honest than many humans.

Timo Hörske lives in Bremerhaven, Germany, and writes at the intersection of nature and society. His texts revolve around attitudes, self-images and the small frictions of everyday life, where more truth often hides than in grand explanations. With a careful eye for nuance, contradiction and quiet comedy, he combines close observation of the natural world with social irony. In Plants with Attitude, plants become literary characters: wilful, sharp-tongued and, at times, disarmingly human.
