Rosemary Boxer and Laura Thyme are two amateur green-fingered sleuths who came together through a mutual love of plants and troubled social lives. Together they start a gardening business, tackling horticultural problems for anybody who requires help. However, mystery is never very far behind them, and the dynamic and inquisitive duo tries to solve the murderous goings on whilst dealing with problems a little closer to their profession.
