A Thank You, Written in Ink

Why I’m Giving Away Signed Copies of My Book This February
There’s a strange moment when something that’s lived in your head for years suddenly exists in your hands.
A few days ago, I was sent a handful of the first printed copies of my book. Not the everywhere-on-shelves version. Just a small stack. Heavy. Real. Slightly emotional, if I’m honest.
And it didn’t feel right to just put them on a shelf and move on.
So this February, I’m doing something small, intentional, and very on purpose.
This Isn’t a Promotion. It’s a Thank You.
The people who book in with me, subscribe, place big orders, or quietly support what I do aren’t doing it because of hype. They’re doing it because they trust me. With their plants, their homes, and their time.
That kind of support deserves more than a discount code and a loud announcement.
So I’m giving away four signed copies of my book, each with a handwritten message that I’ll actually sit down and write. Not templated. Not rushed. Proper ink on paper.
How the Giveaway Works (No Forms. No Faff.)
This runs throughout February and is split into two parts, so it stays fair and simple.
🇬🇧 For UK Supporters
If you’re in the UK, you’ll receive one entry for each of the following during February:
Starting a new subscription to The Plantaholic Prescription
👉 https://www.thebeardedplantaholic.com/theplantaholicprescription
Booking a visit to the Plantaholic Haven in February
👉 https://www.thebeardedplantaholic.com/service-page/visit-the-plantaholic-haven
Placing an order over £100 in the online plant shop
👉 https://www.thebeardedplantaholic.com/category/all-products
Every qualifying action counts as an entry.
If you do more than one, you get more than one entry.
There’s nothing extra to fill in and nothing to remember.
At the end of the month, three UK winners will be chosen at random.
🌍 For the Rest of the World
A big part of this community lives outside the UK. You watch, comment, share, and support from afar. That matters too.
So there’s one signed copy reserved purely for international followers.
To take part, you’ll need to head over to my Instagram and join in there:

Why I’m Doing It This Way
I don’t believe in shouting louder than everyone else. I believe in noticing people.
This giveaway isn’t about “winning”. It’s about acknowledging the people who were already here before the noise, before the launch, before the reviews.
If that’s you, thank you. Genuinely.
And if you’re new, welcome. You’re early in a different way.
One love,
Jonny
