Welcome to Mrs McColl's Garden.
Beyond the stone wall and beside the steady murmur of the burn lies a small Scottish garden where marigolds glow like pocket suns, sweet peas climb with quiet ambition, and the washing line occasionally takes flight.
Here, life is rarely grand - but it is always deeply felt.
In this charming spring collection, you will meet:
Archie Thistledown, who believes in order (especially for tulips)
Mairi Mosswhistle, who claims not to care but always does
Fast Eddie, whose steady pace often wins the day
Fergus, whose ideas arrive faster than his wisdom
Douglas the robin, who considers himself essential
Hilda the shrew, guardian of structure
And a host of garden residents navigating rain, wind, wandering snails and occasionally misdirected ambition
Across twelve gently interwoven tales, friendships are tested by flying bedsheets, marigolds mysteriously relocate, tulips face the wrong direction, and even a humble snail becomes the subject of diplomacy.
Set against the soft rhythms of a rural Scottish spring, these stories celebrate patience, community, second chances - and the quiet magic of watching things grow.
Perfect for readers aged 7-11 and for anyone who believes gardens have personalities of their own.
Step through the gate.
Spring is waiting.
