from the author's site: 

Welcome to Bascom, North Carolina, where everyone has a story to tell about the Waverleys. There's the house that’s been in the family for generations, the walled garden that mysteriously blooms year round, and the wild rumors of dangerous loves and tragic passions. Claire has always clung to the Waverleys’ roots, tending the enchanted soil in the family garden from which she makes her sought-after delicacies. She has everything she thinks she needs, until one day she wakes to find a stranger has moved in next door and a vine of ivy has crept into her garden... and Claire’s carefully tended life is about to run gloriously out of control.

my thoughts: 

Sarah Addison Allen has such a magical way about her writing. Unusual and extraordinary things happen to her characters and yet in their world, it's completely normal. I just loved sitting down with Garden Spells and immersing myself in Claire's and Sydney's stories. 
Garden Spells was such a fabulous tale. Sarah Addison Allen has quickly turned into an auto-buy, auto-read author for me.
