I was so over the moon to receive an advanced copy of this book. I loved The Spellshop so much. I though it was a great cozy fantasy with some slightly higher stakes than usual, this gave the book more depth. The Enchanted Greenhouse was exactly the same.

What to expect:
Sentient plants
Magical greenhouses
Gardening knowledge
Lots of food descriptions to make you hungry
Slow burn
Grumpy x Sunshine

I was so glad to read this story about Terlu, after creating Caz (the spider plant from The Spellshop) Terlu was made into a statue as punishment. Years later she finds herself human again on a small island with a magical greenhouse. Yarrow the only other human occupant on the island has been hoping for a miracle (and a sorcerer) to help save the failing greenhouses.
Both Yarrow and Terlu have their own issues to work through. But the main theme in this book is loneliness.

The romance between the 2 was secondary to the main plot, it was a slow creep from working together with a common goal to falling in love. It's was filled with acts of service from Yarrow, which was so sweet. Yarrow needed peeling back, he had a lot of abandonment issues to deal with after his family left him alone on the island. But he was most chatty when talking about plants and food. The food descriptions in this book made me feel so hungry! I want some honey cake immediately.

The Greenhouses really were magical, with every single plant you could think of and then some. It was a book that you could fall in to and was so easy to picture. Sarah just captured the island so well, it felt very real and vivid.

The side characters (especially the plants were hilarious 😂) I loved all their different personalities. And they brought a lot of joy to the book!

The book lagged in certain places, but what cozy fantasy doesn't? I really recommend reading this one, even if you don't know a thing about plants (like me) you'll still love it and all the cozy vibes it gives. It's a warm hug in a book, it's a lesson that there is a place for everyone. It made my heart so full!

I absolutely adored The Spellshop book so when I saw this next book on NetGalley I couldn’t help but requesting it! Stunning cover that really shows how stunning this fantastical book is. Great plot and characters and really hope there’s more!

A charming return to the world of The Spellshop, this cozy tale captivates you from the start with its magical greenhouse of countless rooms full of magical beasts and plans, more talking plants, and a cute romance between the two main characters.

The Enchanted Greenhouse is a cozy, adorable and heartwarming fantasy romance. I loved it even more than The Spellshop and I'd already cried once before I even hit the 25% mark! It was the focus on Terlu's loneliness that really got me, and then how she found herself with Yarrow, a gardener alone on the island of Belde, and a sentient rose who both understood her loneliness themselves. It's like a warm hug in a book!

Also, I can't get over how beautiful this cover is!

Disclaimer: I received an Advance Reader Copy from NetGalley, but this is my voluntary and honest review.

Like the authors first book this was well written, cosy and cute with a sense of humour. The characters, including the plants, are so cute while the plot isn’t too high stakes making this a nice read for bedtime. The only criticism would be that it’s a bit too long for this type of book otherwise I had a good time reading

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc
