I'm doing a display of fiction dealing with gardening and while I have quite
a few general fiction and mysteries, I can't seem to find any romances.
Anyone know of any good gardening romances?

Thanks,
C. L.

Night Gardening by E. L. Swann is a wonderful gardening romance, and another
one dealing with florists, rather than gardening, is Julie and Romeo by
Jeanne Ray.

I'm just going by tge summaries here, but these look likely; they're
from http://www.desplaines.lib.il.us/readers/rs_FictionInBloom.html,
http://www.addison.lib.il.us/6garden.asp, and
http://www.statelibrary.tas.gov.au/Novelapproach/garden.htm:

Night Gardening by E.L. Swann (F)
When widow Maggie Wells suffers a stroke while working in her
sorrowfully neglected garden, a handsome landscape architect helps
her mend her garden and her heart. Another summary: Story of a
romance between mature people who share an interest in zen gardening.

Between the Flowers by Harriette Simpson Arnow (F)
Despite her desire to leave 1930s Kentucky and explore the world, a
young orphan is forced into an arranged marriage with an unsuitable
boy.

Consider the Lily by Elizabeth Buchan (F)
In order to keep a country estate in the family, an impoverished
landowner marries a wealthy orphan, despite his passion for her
beautiful poorer cousin. Another summary: When Matty marries a man
who loves another, she throws herself into the restoration of the
garden surrounding Hynton Dysart, complete with its resident ghosts
and current heartbreaks.

Alice's Tulips by Sandra Dallas (F)
Under the critical eye of her mother-in-law, a new bride takes care
of the family farm and keeps busy with quilting and letter writing
while her husband fights for the Union in the Civil War.

Flowers Under Ice by Jean Ross Ewing (F)
Renegade nobleman Dominic Wyndham agrees to accompany a beautiful
young woman to her native Scotland on a secret mission.

Tulip Fever by Deborah Moggach (F)
In 17th Century Amsterdam, passions grow between a young newlywed
and the artist commissioned by her older, wealthy husband to paint
her portrait.

Eucalyptus by Murray Bail
A father who will only allow his daughter to marry the man who can
identity all the species of eucalyptus trees he's grown.

An Ocean apart by Robin Pilcher
David discovers the healing powers of his garden following the death
of his wife. [Not sure if this is romance]

Maybe "Julie and Romeo" by Jeanne Ray. Flower shops, not gardens (although
she does have a rose garden that's mentioned.

Not strictly a romance, but Nancy Thayer's EVERLASTING is a good read about
a florist with romance elements.
