The story follows a woman who defies her family’s expectations to pursue her passion for gardening, transforming her life and her family’s business in the process.

Raised in a family of successful restaurateurs, the protagonist felt suffocated in her corporate job as a senior claims adjuster. Her true joy came from gardening, a passion nurtured by her Grandma Rose. Despite her family’s mockery and resistance, she quit her stable job to study landscape design. Grandma Rose supported her decision, leaving her an $800,000 property and detailed gardening plans after her passing.

Her family continued to belittle her, even seating her far from them at her brother Mike’s wedding. However, her work gained recognition, leading to prestigious commissions and a feature in a gardening magazine. Her success forced her father and brother to acknowledge her skills, especially when she saved the restaurant’s herb garden before a crucial Michelin inspection. She charged her father a hefty consultation fee, symbolizing her newfound confidence.

The turning point came when her urban renewal project near her father’s restaurant brought increased business and acclaim. Her family proposed a partnership, merging her design studio with the restaurant into a horticulture and culinary experience. This collaboration elevated the restaurant’s profile and deepened her family’s appreciation for her vision.

The story ends with her family embracing her gardening dream, transforming their business and relationships. She also inspires others to pursue their passions, leaving a legacy that honors both her and her grandmother’s love for gardening.
