When Hope stakes a plot of ground at Heart Lake’s community garden, she finds that a woman can grow all sorts of things there: flowers, herbs, vegetables and even friendship.  As she gets to know the two women who share neighboring plots, they discover that they can learn a lot from each other—not just about gardening, but about life.  And Hope realizes that in order to live life to the fullest, sometimes you have to take a chance on love. 6472171 31 3 2009 Love in Bloom total:55|5:15|4:22|3:16|2:2|1:0| 55 215 109 29 5 1 false false Wed Apr 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 30 00:11:11 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 15 23:32:46 -0700 2009 A fun, easy ...more...]]> 4 0 true false Sat Apr 25 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 19 18:34:53 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 26 11:15:54 -0700 2009
