My New Book

Enchanted Plants

From the baneful bog to the garden gate, join me for a romp through the kingdom of plants and explore their stories, legends, and magic. 

Ramble through the mystical,  magical, and historical gardens where cultivars and wild plants thrive. Enter the Queen’s Garden and pluck a golden apple or snip the perfect rose. Sneak through the gates into of the poison garden where the lascivious and life-saving plants intertwine. Gallop through meadow grass, skirt the boggy glen, amble through woodlands where magical plants beckon from the forest floor.

Don’t forget your knife.
