How do you hope readers will be impacted or affected by your book? What do you want them to take away from it? Introducing the Plant Rescue Box in collaboration with author & writer Sarah Gerrard-Jones. Sarah AKA @theplantrescuer is a plant lover and goes above and beyond to save the botanical beauties that she comes across in her daily life. I’d experienced such a sense of fulfilment from saving the orchids and seeing the dumb cane grow under my care, I couldn’t wait to find my next patient. I stepped up my search, scouring the local plant shop shelves at least once or twice a week looking for neglected and damaged plants. My heart would skip a beat, not when I saw the most beautiful plant, but when I came across the one with the bent stem or crispy brown leaves – it was that plant that I swiftly marched to the till. If there was a house fire (after ensuring the safety of family and pets), what plant would you save first?

The resurgence in popularity of houseplants is a sign that people want to once again be enchanted by nature and make space for it in their lives. Buying a plant, swapping cuttings or sowing seeds – just to experience the magic of watching them grow – has become a priority in many people’s lives. By placing yourself within the circle of life, in solidarity with plants, you reinvigorate the connection that society works hard to break. Make room for plants, physically and mentally, show them kindness, engage your senses, learn what they love, and in return they will show their gratitude by enriching your life. Sarah Gerrard-Jones, aka @theplantrescuer, will teach you how to help your houseplants not only survive but thrive, in this virtual masterclass Sarah, also known as @theplantrescuer, is a self-taught houseplant obsessive who firmly believes every plant deserves a happy life. Her determination to see beyond the ‘perfect plant’ and to rescue unloved plants makes her the go-to guide. The Plant Rescuer takes a refreshingly different approach to plant care. Individual plant profiles are organised not according to plant names, but by their light requirements – the defining factor for success or failure when gardening indoors. There are 'decision tree' diagrams that take typical problems, such as yellowing leaves or mouldy soil, and allow you to work your way through the questions to diagnose what's gone wrong. From watering to air layering, there is clear and concise advice for both beginners and more experienced growers.

Growing plants that thrive is simply a case of taking the time to understand what your house plant needs to survive and what it’s conveying through changes in its appearance.
