In the heart of a tangled allotment, secrets root as deeply as the vegetables.
 
When Sophie Grove unlocks the gates of Plot 23, she doesn’t expect more than a patch of soil and a tangle of weeds. Instead, she finds herself at the heart of an allotment community where rivalries run deep, secrets linger in the hedgerows, and friendships bloom in the unlikeliest places.
 
Her vision is simple: to turn a crooked old shed into The Fleur Kitchen, a place where foraged herbs, wild fruits, and allotment harvests can become soups, preserves, and stories to share. But not everyone welcomes change. Between Mavis, the iron-fisted guardian of rules, Ellwood, the weary keeper of old ways, and Thomas, the quiet forager with shadows in his past, Sophie soon discovers that the soil holds more than seeds.
 
As storms batter the plots and old deeds resurface, the gardeners must decide what they’re really fighting for: vegetables, rules, or the very future of their land.
 
Rich with the scents of rosemary and rain-soaked earth, The Fleur Kitchen is a story of food and folklore, rivalry and reconciliation, and the stubborn hope that grows when neighbours gather around a shared table.
 
Perfect for readers of cozy fiction, garden drama, and anyone who believes that kitchens and communities are built as much from trust as from flour and thyme.
