Budding landscape architect Luisa MacGregor is stuck in a rut – she hates her boss, she lives with her sister, and she is still mourning the loss of her husband many years ago. So when she is given the opportunity to take on a parcel of land in a deprived area, she sees the chance to build a garden that can make the area bloom.
 
Arriving in the rundown seaside town of Collaton on the north-west coast of Cumbria, she realises that her work is going to be cut out for her. But, along with Cas, a local PE teacher, and Harper, a teen whose life has taken a wrong turn, she is determined to get the garden up and running.
 
So when the community comes together and the garden starts to grow, she feels her luck might have changed. Can she grow good things on this rocky ground? And might love blossom along the way…?

My Thoughts:

This is my second book by Sharon and I could not wait to delve in to this story. Luisa hates her job and how her life has ended up, she wants to be outside and do what she loves gardening, so when the opportunity comes by about upping sticks and getting a community garden done she is a little sceptical at first as will she be able to succeed, but with the help of the community can she turn this wasteland into a beautiful garden for all to use. I loved how there is a little bit of everything in the story, friendship, love, gardening and coming together. It simply was such a gorgeous read that you will want to read again and again.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
