June in the Garden

A keen horticulturist and amateur arborist, June can name every flower species beginning with the letter J. But what she doesnt know a lot about, is people. When her mother dies unexpectedly and their home is repossessed, June decides to journey south to find her secondary caregiver who she has not seen since she was an infant. Panicked and confused, her father turns her away, not wanting to jeopardise his London life and his new family, who he lives with in a big redstone townhouse in Notting Hill in a garden filled with white roses and lemon thyme, on a street lined with Japanese Dawn Redwood trees. With nowhere else to go and without her father knowing, June moves into the yellow shed in his garden. There, she reluctantly forges a new friendship with her ten-year-old half-brother and the family dog, who keep her residence in the garden shed a secret.
