Private Event at Seven Oaks Plant Shop, South Carolina
I honestly still can’t quite believe I’m writing this.
My very first book signing in the United States is happening.
On Thursday, April 23rd 2026, I’ll be at Seven Oaks Plant Shop, 4522 St. Andrews Road, Columbia, South Carolina, for a private signing event of You’re Overwatering It: A Plant Guru’s Guide to Houseplants.
This will be my first official US book signing:
And Seven Oaks invited me.
That means more than I can explain.
The Event Details
This is a private, ticketed, drop-in event running from 3PM until 7PM.
Each ticket includes:
• A signed copy of You’re Overwatering It
• Sips and snacks
• The chance to meet me properly, talk plants, and ask questions
• A short live chat from me at 4PM and again at 6PM about what inspired the book
Tickets are $65 per person and pre-registration is required.
There are limited spaces available, and this is not a public free-for-all signing. It’s intimate. It’s personal. It’s plant people in a room together.
You can grab your ticket directly via Seven Oaks here:
This one is going to be special.
Why This Means So Much
When I wrote You’re Overwatering It, I didn’t want to write a generic plant manual.
I wanted to write something that felt like a level-up guide. Something that made beginners confident and collectors sharper. Something that explained the science without making you feel like you needed a lab coat.
Seeing it travel across the Atlantic and land in the hands of readers in the US feels surreal.
Even more surreal?
We are still sitting at Number 1 Bestseller in multiple categories.
That is because of you.
Every single order matters to me. Genuinely.
Every message. Every tag. Every photo of it on your kitchen table.
And especially every review.
Reviews are not just ego boosts. They change visibility. They help the algorithms. They help future readers find it. They tell publishers this weird bearded plant man was worth backing.
If you already own the book and haven’t left a review yet, I would be massively grateful if you did.
You can grab a copy here on Amazon:
It’s currently on sale, which makes this the perfect time to join the chaos.
One Unique First Copy Still Available
There is also something quietly special still floating around.
There is one unique signed, dedicated and stamped with gold leaf first copy of the book still available.
Not just signed.
Stated first edition.
There will never be another “first”.
If you’re the sort of person who loves owning the beginning of a story, that one is still out there waiting.
What to Expect on the Day
This isn’t a conveyor belt signing.
It’s a plant conversation.
I’ll be there for four hours.
You can drop in anytime between 3PM and 7PM.
I’ll give two short chats at 4PM and 6PM about:
• Why I wrote the book
• The science behind it
• The philosophy woven through it
• And how plants quietly teach us more than we realise
Then we sign. We talk. We take photos. We geek out over leaves.
This is my first US signing.
Let’s make it count.
Final Thank You
If you’ve already bought the book.
If you’ve shared it.
If you’ve reviewed it.
If you’ve told a friend.
Thank you.
This whole journey exists because people decided to believe in it.
South Carolina, I’ll see you soon.
And if you can’t make the event, you can still grab your copy here:
Every order matters. Every review matters. Every reader matters.
See you under the canopy.
Jonny, One love!
