The duo help reorganise the seed museum owned by the descendants of famous botanist Edwin Pargeter - but it is not long before a man is found dead in the family's garden.

The duo are invited to help create an Arabian-style garden in Malaga. Before long, a local resident is found dead, and a mysterious landowner is the chief suspect.

Laura and Rosemary are hired to re-create a Victorian garden in Regent's Park, where they meet all manner of intriguing characters - but the oasis of calm in central London is shattered by the discovery of a body.

The duo are hired to create a garden as a wedding present, and find a baby under a gooseberry bush. The discovery brings out Rosemary's maternal side as the pair investigate who abandoned the child.
