Jonathan has kindly offered one copy of the book as a prize so that readers of Lanscape Juice have an opportunity of winning it in a easy to do competition.

Here is an extract that sums up the message of the book.

Fate and destiny, the words on everyone's lips. Why are we humans so lost, why do we truly feel the power of our existence only when we fall in love?

There isn't a living thing on this planet that has problems understanding its role in life, every creature seems to receive directions/instructions from somewhere.

It's only we humans that seem to have lost the ability to navigate our way through our existence.

This book is about love, life and the wonders of gardening. It outlines how nature effects our life and makes the link between the gardener and the natural world. It is about how a young gardener shapes his life and his relationships with women.

As Jonathan said this book is aimed at stimulating people into living their dream instead of thinking that 'you have to give up your whole life for a bank'.

Jonathan is an inspiring person with many creative ideas and a positive outlook, full of colourful stories and insights he has a lot to tell others, gardeners and non-gardeners alike.
