520    Livia is a nice little suburb in the upper Midwest--but 
       behind the manicured lawns and pristine hedges seethes a 
       ruthless desire to be the greatest green thumb of 
       allGeorge and Nan Fremont have created a paradise in their
       backyard, complete with semi-hallucinogenic exotics and a 
       comfy spot for drinking their favorite merlot. Marta 
       Poppendauber's garden is as pleasantly haphazard as she 
       is. And Dr. Phyllis Sproot, Livia's self-styled and 
       cantankerous gardening expert, has determined the exact 
       formula for the only correct garden possible. But once 
       Burdick's Plant World announces the garden contest to end 
       them all, none of the gardeners of Livia can afford to 
       live and let live. The Fremonts have almost gardened 
       themselves into bankruptcy. Marta is the victim of black 
       tea blackmail. And Dr. Sproot is turning into a 
       horticultural megalomaniac of the worst kind. The 
       gardeners of Livia are digging up trouble with every turn 
       of the spade, but if they can make it through the summer, 
       who knows what might bloom? "Draper has bottled the 
       spirits of competitive gardeners, added sugar and fizz and
       let them go, leaving the reader with many hilarious madcap
       adventures."--Suzy Bales, author of Garden Bouquets and 
       BeyondKiss My Aster. 
520    When a local nursery introduces a gardening contest, the 
       gardeners of Livia jump into the competition with a 
       vengeance, including a middle-aged couple who risk their 
       retirement savings, a garden witch, and a self-styled 
       gardening expert.
