3 copies of 'Frost Falls on the Potting Shed' by Jenny Kane

It has always been Maddie Willand‘s dream to take over her father’s plant nursery. But after his sudden death, she is devastated to discover that she might lose The Potting Shed forever.

Maddie’s bossy older sister, Sabi, is joint owner of the nursery, and she’s convinced that the best thing for both of them would be to sell up. Determined to keep the business going, Maddie can’t afford any distractions, but staying focused might be harder than she thinks when – after a major garden centre chain puts in an offer – her search for legal advice throws her into the path of attractive lawyer Ed

As frost begins to fall over The Potting Shed, will Maddie find the strength to save her father’s legacy and open herself up to new beginnings?

    I have a wonderful collection of Kalanchoe that flower so beautifully in the spring. I used to buy them at the supermarket as a treat for myself until I found how easy they were to grow from the parent plant. I now only buy when I see a colour I haven’t got. A house is not a home without plants (and books!)

    A rambling rose is an old-fashioned and now rarely cultivated type of rose that would spread low across the ground on long, whippy canes. Ramblers are now grown usually as climbers instead. I have several in my garden and for me it’s a metaphor for someone who accepts their life journey as it comes. Any challenges that come their way, they are unfazed by. They are the ones that carry on their troubles and throw them to the side, and live the life they trouble themselves to find.

    As I trained as a florist, that’s not really a fair question – However, I guess that for beauty I would have to say roses and for versatility and resilience the chrysanthemum.
