Inspired by real events, a touching novel about a new class of courageous women who worked at London’s historic Kew Gardens during World War II.

In the face of war, gardening is their duty…When Daisy Cooper’s new husband joins the RAF to fight the Battle of Britain, she’s terrified she’s going to lose him. So when her mother Ivy suggests she join the gardeners at Kew to keep busy, Daisy’s intrigued. After all, Ivy worked at Kew during the last great war and made lifelong friends along the way. Louisa Armitage, not ready to hang up her gardening gloves just yet, and Beth Sanderson, an aspiring doctor looking to make a difference, decide to enlist as well. When tragedy strikes, the women are forced to come together to support one other during their darkest hours. But can the Kew Gardens Girls survive the horrors of war-torn London this time?

Engaging and Sweet Story

I’ve listened to both of the books now and wishing there were more. Both books are multi-dimensional looks at life in WWI and WWII told through an engaging story about families, women and women’s rights, friendship, love, loss, and community. Storytelling at its best!

Great saga! Need more of these characters!

I found the narrater pretty good but I liked the first narrater on the first book more engaging. This story was drug out and it took me awhile to finish it. I had to keep stopping. I would give a third book a try. More info about the garden is needed. It was lacking the GARDENING PART on the second book. That is what drew me to it. Over all great series. I am happy with my 2 purchases!
