Donna Brookbanks’ character driven comedy about gardening is the bee’s knees! Desiree Green, gardener and horticultural aficionado, has a hit gardening TV show on her hands and it’s the live filming of the 500th episode! Despite her sunny exterior, Desiree’s personal life is going into the compost bin faster than a wilting gerbera. Can she stay as ‘current’ as indoor plants have been lately or is she past her prime like geraniums? Will her studio guests expose her for the fraud she feels she is?
