About the book
Victorian Canada was a time of touring circuses, seances, and a world powered by steam engines. Despite this, in Belleville, Ontario, Lavender Fitch, a twenty-eight-year-old woman, struggles to make ends meet by selling flowers from her garden at the train station. Her life has drastically changed since the passing of her father, the town's former apothecary.
Everything changes when a glamorous couple arrives in town. The woman, Allegra Trout, is a renowned spirit medium who captivates the town with her beauty and charm. Accompanied by her assistant, Robert, the couple sets up for a public show of their mediumship, sparking intrigue and excitement in Belleville.
Lavender is drawn to Allegra, hoping that the medium can help her find a hidden cache of money left by her deceased mother. As the relationship between Robert and Lavender blossoms, tensions with Allegra rise. Will Lavender uncover her mother's secrets with Allegra's help, or will she lose everything she holds dear?
The Apothecary's Garden is a tale of mystery, magic, and love, where the power of flowers and the wonders of love intertwine in a captivating narrative.
