Join me on my London Book Tour! - Vlog 030

After my very packed trip to the Netherlands, I took it easy in London on my book tour with a singular event at Cuemars. Special thanks to all the wonderful folks who came out and shared their stories, including fellow author, Sonya Patel Ellis, who is the author of The Botanical Bible.

Plants have a tremendous help during my post partum blues. It was like a therapy for me, breaks my daily mommy and wifey routine. Misting, watering or plainly looking at them every morning while I have a little jazz or bossa music playing plus my warm coffee was therapeutic. Thanks Summer for all that you do for the community.

[@hollyhasegawa6095]

I also think she is the mother of plants! How wonderful to be able to meet and have your book signed and have a green thumb print. I am waiting for my book to be shipped to me, can't wait to get it and begin reading it. I love this channel, I have learned so much about plants and to appreciate so much about the environment and our place here. Thank you for being such an inspiration, and being the amazing person you are, I am so glad that I can watch videos like this and be happy that I love plants so much and that there are so many others that share that same love. Thank you Summer.

[@petercardona1559]

I probably would've passed out being overwhelmed by the awesomeness of Sonya Patel Ellis and Summer Rayne Oakes in the same place!

[@summerrayneoakes]

Sonya was a damn fine sweetie! The best kind!

[@bradmiller9584]

This made my heart happy. I love seeing all of these wonderful people all united by their love of plants. There just seems like there is so much good energy around. The world needs more of that. Thank you for all you do.

[@starbucks7125]

I felt exactly the same sir. I hope more and more people around the globe could find their happiness from simple plants.

[@sillybeeful]

Summer you’re so very nice with people, it’s a lovely quality 💚

[@deepasathya8223]

Who thinks that she is a mother of plants 🌱 👇🏻

[@elliadzn4804]

[@ozoneic]

I really admire your confidence.

[@karenferrel8308]

I can relate to the lady who said, watching your channel and following you gave her healing. Thank you 😊

[@tylervanmeter5628]

Your enthusiasm and compassion is infectious. Thank you so much for all you do.

[@summerrayneoakes]

Thank you...

[@paulabollers6396]

Thank you so much for addressing ethical issues surrounding the plant industry! As the "rare" plants get more expensive here, more people are looking to purchase from overseas searching for cheaper prices. I wonder about this on multiple levels from the conservation to supporting local business. I appreciate you touching on these subjects.

[@feedujardinetdulogis5084]

I love the London atmosphere and how they showcase plants everywhere : in houses, hanging baskets, gardens... I follow Laetitia Maklouf's newsletter and I was so excited when she said she would be interviewing you in her podcast thing ! Hope you enjoyed your time in Europe. Love from France.

[@ja-uh9gz]

What a lovely presentation of your book, and the idea of ways of connecting...whether with plants, or with nature..and people. You had a nice crowd and you were lovely to them, during the book signing. I would be tongue tied.. lol. Thank you, Summer. :)

[@stuartcrowder1]

GUTTED!!! I cannot believe you were here and I missed it!

[@k700i]

Everyone loves houseplant mother queen 🌿💚

[@KlausGehrmann]

Always a pleasure to see how your passion and confidence comes through if you talk about plants and the bigger issues involved....also, kudos to whoever does the shooting and editing of your videos, great job! And, congratulations on the success of your book,!

[@AranDeathly]

This is fantastic! Please please extend your trips to Manchester next time! We're really booming up in the plant community here!

[@summerrayneoakes]

Thanks for the tip!

[@paulabollers6396]

You are so generous with your knowledge, time and spirit. Thank you! I will definitely buy Sonya's book and put it next to yours on the shelf. 😁🌿

[@jorgepinto6079]

You are awesome! I’m currently reading your book and I admire your work. You are changing people’s life in a more positive and thriving way 🙂

[@saral2442]

Summer, this is so sweet:) I like how appreciative everyone is and has a story to tell about your impact in their plant journey. You are like this really patient tour guide into the "world of plants" and we are all super lucky to join the tour.

[@plantsandpiggies7758]

Thanks Summer so much for your hard work. We appreciate it. And I love how your book is more about mindfulness. I think we already have enough care houseplant books. Your book was so refreshing. I loved it.

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

This was heart warming AF. You’re touching lives, Summer!

[@sallyhenry1716]

Summer Rayne YOU ARE AWESOME!🤗...enjoyed this so much! Going to check out that Botanical Bible book! Have a successful and fun book tour! 👍🏼

[@azdesertrunner56]

Summer, I have purchased 2 of your books so far. One for me and one for a dear friend. I just love the book. You are such a great sweet person... Thank you for sharing so much. ❤️

[@summerrayneoakes]

Thank you for giving the gift to your friend. How sweet of you!

[@goddess131]

awesome, wish I was there, that looks like a really great shop. Happy holidays to everybody.

[@kenclarkeis]

This was such a cool event and it was so good to meet you there. Thanks so much for the shout out in the video and the encouraging words. I’m still making plant videos and loving the community.

[@jessypotplants]

Congratulations summer! It makes me so happy watching the success of your book and tour! I hope you find your way to Sydney one day! love your shoes too btw hehe

[@summerrayneoakes]

I wish you were closer! :)

[@jeanneeguizabal471]

[@Jmoney-db4rp]

I love the area you had you’re talk in🤓 very cool. And great job!

[@StaceyHerewegrowagain]

How awesome Summer! I can't wait to buy a copy of your book! I'm hoping my fiance gets the hint for a Christmas gift 😊 Your passion is so amazing and you give me so much inspiration to keep on growing and collecting.

[@TheKirichan33]

The little girl’s reaction at 1:14 lol so cute! To be honest that would have been my reaction too if I got to meet Summer Rayne! 🤗

[@Jpsans98]

TheKirichan33 that’s my sister!! Haha we were both in Awe 😭✨✨

[@dylanchen5408]

Hope you had a great time in London, too bad i missed the opportunity to meet you, hope you will be back sometime soon!

[@13JackTaylor]

Give Columbia Road flower market a look! It's on every sunday

[@georgegarin9429]

wonderful ...every plants looks so good😍

[@lauriesickles5393]

Neat video, thanks for sharing.

[@stardoll1995]

I love London! 😍 And fortunately living in Portugal I'm just a 3 hour flight away!

[@edwardlittlefield447]

It's nice to see your success. I'm happy for you!

[@ThePlantasticNerd]

This was so heart warming...

[@SHARONSHORTOrchidsandGarden]

If I didn't have plants, I would die...literally! I would stop breathing!! My life revolves around plants or vegetation. You get the gist!

[@riel272004]

Did not know you're coming to Shoreditch, London today. I was in the area earlier just roaming around. I had been watching Plant one on me for years and the main reason I get into house plants parenting . Would love to meet you in person and buy the book.

[@pinoyloversofafricanviolet4080]

God bless. I love your video!

[@yashashwitsharma]

Sorry I totally missed you, hope you had a good time!

[@sashastarshanti3599]

I'm a yoga teacher, and I love plants! You captured the holistic beauty of both so well in your talk. I so agree, taking care of plants with great mindfulness is as much a practice of yoga as asana on the mat. Yoga means union, and we can most certainly unite with the highest aspects of our being in the simple joy and beauty of taking care of plants. I'll be ordering How to Make a Plant Love You, and I'll read it with joy. Also, you are modest, I just bet you can touch your toes beautifully! ;)

[@3333alex]

OMG I WISH I KNEW ABOUT THIS!!!

[@robertoajovalasit2068]

We wait you here in Milan 💕🇮🇹

[@dianemiles2720]

Any chance she'll tour in MidWest next? Chicago plant expo or Nashville maybe? She needs a 2020 tour calendar, I can't wait!

[@summerrayneoakes]

I'll try to put 2020 up end of the month. We'll see if I get to it. Much to do before the end of the year!

[@andys9899]

Be careful in London these days. And remember, collecting plants is a very british obsession!!

[@veronicaramos7960]

Yes she is

[@AceHardy]

📙💯

[@karlorton9870]

Anyone know if there is an audio version of the book? As sounds like the most perfect companion for long road trips.

[@summerrayneoakes]

Yes, I recorded an audiobook as well. So I'll read the book to you :)

[@karlorton9870]

Summer Rayne Oakes Brilliant! As like the way your videos convey the whole sustainability and dare I say nature aspect of what we humans are often lacking... now to find that audio book!

[@matthewuldriks2806]

I was wondering if you have ever heard of a rehabilitation program (like there is with dogs) for juvenile offenders and adults also?¿ Perhaps government and/or college funds could be available, or MADE available ¿? Probably too for out there.

[@sachilunia]

Please plan a visit to India 🇮🇳 when you can 😊🌼

[@eletcroft]

But where's Ken's channel???
