A fiction anthology from Welsh women writing about gardens: what they mean to them, what happens in them and where they take them... In 'Yellow Ribbons on a Pear Tree' an Italian P OW returns home to a mixed welcome from his wife and family; 'Gift' is a tale of loss and love and of misunderstandings set around a memorial oak sapling; 'Rosemary and Rue' concerns memory and what it means to lose it and 'Seasons of Brews and Roses' tells of the love between mother and daughter and its waxing and waning, in good times and bad. There are sad stories and happy ones, tales from home and abroad – all of them share a love for plants and planting, flowers and seeds, a real sense of the power of growing things to change lives.
