It's Noosa Heads, 1987, and newly-divorced Cynthia has returned from Los Angeles to reconnect with her pregnant 19-year-old daughter who is determined not to listen to her mother's advice.
Cynthia's former best friend Lorraine has been stuck mowing lawns as part of a business she shares with her husband - his dream, not hers.
When Cynthia convinces her to join the Sunshine Gardening Society, they meet young widow Elizabeth and heartbroken Kathy.
They discover that society offers them the chance help people whose lives need a bit of care like their gardens.
Between pulling up weeds and planting sweet wattle, strelitzias and bromeliads, the women learn from each other that some roots go deep and others shallow; that seeds can lie dormant for a long time before they spring to life; and that careful tending is the key to lives and friendships that reach their full potential.
We have one copy of Weekends with the Sunshine Gardening Society to give away, valued at $32.99.
