REVIEWS

“….I loved the way that everyone pulls together and does all they can to make the potting shed a success, but do they manage to open the extension on time to save it or was it all a waste of time and effort?
A really good read, good characters and plot line.” readsandeats15

‘The second instalment of the Potting Shed series continues the story of Maddie and Sabi and their fight to keep the might of the BIG corporation at bay. Whereas in Frost Falls At The Potting Shed focused very much on the dual battles between the two businesses and between the sisters themselves, in Bluebell Season the family is presenting a more united front with regards to the business and it is personal relationships which drive the plot. Sabi’s past comes back to haunt her, as does Jo’s, albeit in a very different way, whilst Maddie is caught in the middle of all the drama, trying to ensure her relationship with Ed progresses as it should.

Jake and Petra make cameo appearances, but I hope that they will continue to be involved in future books, as I think the development of their relationship and Jake’s continuing commitment to improving his literacy are provide a solid subplot which underpins many of the other relationships and storylines. In much the same way as the side (I won’t call them minor as that does them a huge disservice) characters in Mill Grange became much loved, Jake and Petra are establishing themselves as integral parts of the series. So many people undervalue their skills and intelligence for similar reasons as Jake, that I think having this represented in fiction is vital….’ Ruth Loten

“What a delightful read. I thoroughly enjoyed revisiting the Potting Shed and I thought this second book in the series was even better than the first. This was a really enjoyable read and I quickly reconnected with the characters, enjoying seeing them grow and the story progress. The storyline is very good and deals with issues in a very thoughtful and sensitive way.
The story continues from book one with Maddie and her sister Sabi trying to cultivate their business (excuse the pun) from a nursery to a garden centre. I loved seeing how Maddie dealt with everything that came along and how all the other characters are getting on, as well as meeting a few new ones. They are such a nice group.
This is a really good, easy read, the sort of book you want to pick up when you need a break and just sit back and enjoy the story. I do hope there are more books to come in this series as it is very enjoyable.”  Marian Girling (Jenny Colgan Book Club)
‘It was so good to be back meet up with the characters at The Potting Shed.
It was lovely to see how Ed encourages and supports Maddie, he really loves being at the nursery as much as her her.
Jo’s story was interesting to read, the way he saw himself and others saw him.
I look forward to reading how the characters lives progress as well as Maddie and Ed’s relationship following his promotion. The book can be read as a standalone, but it’s best to read the first book, so you can understand the story in this book better.
I recommend this book. ‘ Amazon 
‘A great sequel to the 1st book.
Maddie and her sister Sabi have set themselves a goal to change the nursery into a garden centre, they’ve set themselves a time limit to pay back their 1st loan in order to proceed with their dreams.
Unfortunately the Big garden centre are only a few miles away and having a grand opening. Can the sisters, along with their friends and family, get enough customers through their doors to make the business worthwhile?
A lovely read, was great to catch up with all the characters. I hope there is a 3rd book.’ Amazon 
‘It was brilliant to be back at the Potting Shed but you can read on its own. Loved how they moved on with the plans and the work with children. Some nice twists. Your past can catch up with you.. I felt for Jo and I got a bit confused with his story. A good read. Much enjoyed.’ Amazon.

‘I just loved reading the Bluebell season at the

The Potting Shed. It was so uplifting and indeed heart warming with some lovely characters. I look forward to reading more from Jenny Kane. ‘ Amazon

‘Another lovely visit to The Potting Shed. Maddie & Sabi have inherited their dad’s nursery & this story follows their journey into turning the business into a garden centre. So many ups & downs to go through before they hope to succeed. Lots of friends & families bring their own problems to the Potting Shed & nothing is straight forward!
I loved the first book & this just continued with great characters & feel good stories of their lives.
An easy read & that’s because of the great writing by Jenny Kane. Look forward to the next!’  Waterstones
