The Gardener

Farrar, Straus & Giroux, Incorporated
Lydia Grace Finch brings a suitcase full of seeds to the city, where she goes to stay with her Uncle. There she initiates a gradual transformation, bit by bit brightening the shop and bringing smiles to customers' faces with the flowers she grows. But it is in a secret place that Lydia Grace works on her masterpiece--an ambitious rooftop garden--which she hopes will make even Uncle Jim smile.
