Excerpt:
Christy Wilhelmi is the founder of Gardenerd and the author of High Yield, Small Space Organic Gardening and the novel of Garden Variety. She holds regular organic gardening classes in LA, CA and offers tips on her YouTube channel worldwide. Between 50-70 percent of her family’s produce comes from her garden of less than 300 square feet. She also gardens at a local community garden, which provides the inspiration for both of her novels. The first, Garden Variety, is set at a community garden and is as much about growing food and flowers as it is about life’s growing pains, and how a community rallies and comes together to save their own. Coming out in June, is Bolting to Seed, which can be read as a sequel to Garden Variety or a standalone cozy mystery. In Bolting to Seed, Lizzie and the eclectic cast of characters return for another growing season, but in-fighting and the threat of death prevent them from finding peace in gardening. What’s a gardener to do when plants aren’t the only thing dying behind the locked gates at Vista Mar?
It’s been six months since Lizzie married the hunky guy she met at Vista Mar Community Garden and, unfortunately for him, she has six reasons for not wanting kids. But when a dead body turns up in the tool shed, she has to solve the mystery and save her marriage, or her urban oasis will wither to dust.
