When three young children stumble into an overgrown city yard, they end up elbows-deep in an urban gardening project that unites a community. Luna, Bianca, and Billy are the first ones to discover a woman named Amy planting vegetables in the yard of an abandoned house. Over a magical summer, Amy teaches them all to grow food and heal the soil using no-dig gardening, and neighbor after neighbor joins in. But an older secret looms over the boarded-up house. Will its tragic past overshadow this blossoming community?
