It is 1869 in Belfast; a fast changing city responding to the pressing demands of the Industrial Revolution. Amelia Henderson, the strong willed, independent young wife of an up and coming linen manufacturer has a passion: she wants to create a formal Victorian garden on their newly acquired Garraiblagh estate in the north-east of Ireland, but she must learn to work with James Black, the renowned Scottish head gardener and plant hunter brought to Ireland to oversee Amelia's ambitious project
As the years pass the garden and those living and working in it become bound together by the magic of the place. While at the same time they are forced to deal with pressing events outside the sanctuary of the tranquil garden and its small community, dangers within the troubled island of Ireland and further afield. Still the garden remains a sanctuary for many and for some, the cause of resentment.

Daisy and Tom find themselves thrown into helping people escaping from the Belfast Blitz.
For Rose the garden is everything she hates and she has the power to destroy it.
