Althea is the mother of three strong-minded children - one of whom is a Buddhist - and owner of a finicky dog named Bozo. She lives in a large house in a beautiful Cotswold village, but finds it difficult to keep the mortgage payments and find a new job. She often feels that her bossy younger sister and irksome ex-husband don't help her. One day, she decides to develop her passion for gardening and wins the opportunity to design a garden at the Chelsea Flower Show with the unexpected help of gorgeous architect Patrick Donahugh. Althea is not just a mother but also a single woman who has been through tough times, and finds solace in gardening and hope for a new career in Patrick.
