The Forgotten Garden

In The Forgotten Garden, Luisa MacGregor embarks on a journey of healing and community building through a transformative garden project.

In The Forgotten Garden, budding landscape architect Luisa MacGregor finds herself trapped in a cycle of dissatisfaction. Stuck in a job she despises and living with her sister, she struggles to move on from the grief of losing her husband years ago. However, a new opportunity arises when she is offered a parcel of land in a neglected area, igniting a spark of hope within her. Luisa sees this as a chance to create a garden that could transform both the landscape and her life.

As Luisa arrives in the rundown seaside town of Collaton on the north-west coast of Cumbria, she quickly realizes the challenges ahead. With the help of Cas, a local PE teacher, and Harper, a troubled teen, she begins to cultivate not just a garden, but also a sense of community. Despite the rocky ground and the obstacles they face, Luisa is determined to see the garden flourish, believing that beauty can emerge from even the most difficult circumstances.

As the garden begins to grow, so do the relationships around it. The community rallies together, and Luisa begins to feel a change in her own heart. Will the garden not only bring new life to the area but also help her heal and find love once again? The Forgotten Garden is a touching narrative about second chances, resilience, and the power of community.
