A good but not amazing historical read.  We learn about the lives of multiple women over the past 120 years or so as they are linked to a garden in a country house.  

The garden is being designed and constructed at the start of the 20th century; it's being enjoyed by recuperating soldiers during WWII; it's being revived and brought back to life in the present day.

The characters are easy to relate to, though they don't set the world on fire they are likeable enough and this is a well-researched easy read
