She has done it again! This book is so cozy and I love the magic that she has created. Who doesn’t love a talking plant. I can’t wait to pick up a physical copy too.

Sarah Beth Durst creates another entry into her fantastical world that we first discovered in the Spellshop. This sweet story follows the journey of a lonely young librarian who ends up on a magical island tended to by a lonely gardener. Each has been hurt by family and friends, and the path they take to connect and forge new relationships is a twisty story. Talking plants, magic greenhouses, and spells gone wrong are all a big part of the charming tale. There are a few kisses and a happily ever after that make you yearn for more of the story.

Oh, yes. This book is cozy and heartwarming and feels like a hug. I really enjoyed the Spellshop and this was the perfect follow-up.

My favorite thing about this author is her ability to demonstrate how what happens to person in their life informs their personality, responses, and behavior. Every character feels fully realized, nuanced, imperfect and complex. I found it actually very healing to witness a character being really seen, and experiencing forgiveness and unconditional love when they are not expecting it.

I love the whimsical feel of the setting, and the world overall. You can tell the author has a beautiful heart and has a real appreciation for the beauty of nature. There is always such a positive outlook to these stories.

The romance was incredibly sweet. I really appreciate that the conflict was relegated strictly to the plot and the characters all worked together and communicated and grew closer throughout. It was all very wholesome.

The Enchanted Greenhouse sucks you right into Sarah Beth Durst's magical world. I adored The Spellshop ,was so excited to dive into The Enchanted Greenhouse, and I was not disappointed. Terlu was incredibly relatable to me. Her need for connection and being wanted was just too real. Yarrow was also an incredibly realistic and relatable MMC. His relationship with the greenhouse and his family both made me want to give him a huge hug. And as Sarah Beth Durst does, each side character/creature was written beautifully and helped inform the story. Lottie and the other plants gave unique perspectives and reflections of our MC's. I also appreciated the time it took for our two main characters to have their growth arcs. It balanced well with the plot of the story . Overall, a very cozy and tender story, perfect for escape.

This novel was an excellent follow-up to The Spellshop. It focused on the storyline of Terlu Perna, the librarian who created Caz, the sentient spider plant from that novel. As a result of illegally using magic to create him, Terlu was turned into a wooden statue and put on display as a lesson to others.

The book opens with Terlu's trial and resultant sentencing in Alyssium, but then fast forwards six years to her slowly awakening in the midst of a forest while snow falls all around her. She has been transported to an island whose main feature is a series of interconnected greenhouses enchanted by complex magical spells and featuring a multitude of plants from all over the Crescent Islands. The sorcerer that created them is long dead, and the spells that maintain the microclimates is failing. She was awakened by the only other person living on the island, Yarrow the gardener, who had hoped she was the solution he needed to fix the dying greenhouses.

Terlu is a sunny, hopeful, extrovert just looking for connection with others (that's why she made Caz in the first place), so she is disappointed to find that Yarrow is a man of few words, and most of them are grunts. Once he learns that Terlu is no sorcerer, he walks away from her and quickly disappears in the labyrinth of greenhouses. However, Yarrow is not unkind, and he does provide Terlu with food to eat (delicious food!), warm clothes, and a comfortable place to sleep. As they gradually share their stories and get to know each other, they decide to at least search the old sorcerer's notebooks & journals for clues on how to fix the greenhouses.

This book is full of all kinds of delightful, cozy vibes - from magical creatures to singing plants, delectable treats, a quaint cottage, and unique greenhouse environments, the story immerses the reader in a wonderland of sensory delights. The protagonists have a sweet, slow-burn romance that culminates in a rewarding connection between them, and together they help each other heal from past traumas. Additional side characters are introduced throughout the story, including several sentient plants, a sailor who regularly passes by the island, members of Yarrow's family, and Terlu's former boss and advocate. The final scene was fully of joy, companionship, celebration, and hope.

Highly recommended for all the feel-good vibes.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started this book, but I was very pleasantly surprised. I ended up finishing the book in just a few sittings and really enjoyed the story and characters.

I have been trying for MONTHS to make it through this book. I ended up deciding to DNF it and maybe will try again in the future. I wanted to like this cozy read, but for me it was less cozy and way more boring. I couldn't get invested in the plot at all though the characters were cute and the dialogue promising. However, the characters could not carry me through the lack of events in this book.

The Enchanted Greenhouse is a cozy fantasy brimming with warmth, whimsy, and wonder. I adored this story of found family, healing, and magical greenhouses bursting with quirky, talking plants. Terlu’s journey—from punishment to purpose—unfolds with humor, tenderness, and just the right amount of baked goods. It’s the kind of book that makes you want to pot a plant, bake something sweet, and believe in second chances. Perfect for fans of The House in the Cerulean Sea or Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries, this gentle adventure is a hug in book form.

Thank you to the author for an early reader's copy of this book. This was even better than the Spellshop. The two main characters were so well thought out, and I loved the sentient house plants and the overall storyline. This is a cozy fantasy, so expect lovable creatures, low stakes, and a cozy environment to nestle into!

Thank you NetGalley and Bramble for the ARC! Terlu was found guilty of a crime (casting a spell that made a sentient spider plant, Caz). For her crime, she was turned into a statue, forced to look upon others (or cast into a dark storage closet) with no proper interaction. Suddenly, she awakens, cold, alone, but restored. Seeking answers, she discovers that she's on an island filled with greenhouses, each with its own special magical property. She was brought back by Yarrow, the gardner, who was seeking a spell caster to save the greenhouses. They have been failing since the islands sorcerer died, but Yarrow is willing to try anything to save them. Seeing his devotion, Terlu is drawn to help him. With the same warm and heart of The Spellshop, The Enchanted Greenhouse is the perfect read for those looking for a cozy fantasy with a touch of romance.

Such an amazing follow-up to one of my favorite reads of last year. So cozy and whimsical and magical. A complete delight!

The Enchanted Greenhouse is a sequel to The Spellshop and it's just wonderful cozy goodness. It's so sweet and wholesome and full of quirky characters. Perfect if you like:

• Emily Wilde vibes
• a touch of romance
• second chances

Just like with 'The Spellshop', Sarah Beth Durst has created the epitome of the cozy fantasy genre with 'The Enchanted Greenhouse'. It very much reads like a farming simulation game in book form; and I absolutely love it! A quick read with low stakes and a lot of heart.

The chapters featuring vibrant descriptions of the various greenhouse rooms along with the winter setting outside created such a calming, cozy atmosphere and I truly think this would be the perfect read when curled up by a fire.

I absolutely loved the romance --- the grumpy/sunshine trope is one of my favourites. Especially when the grumpy side of the duo has something they're passionate about that makes them light up --- in this case, plants! And those plants also made a wonderful addition to the book, adding many funny and lighthearted moments.

The only thing I could have done without is the family drama. I feel like it was just a little too much for the kind of story the novel was building up to be and I personally would have preferred if the focus had remained on saving the Greenhouses.

That said, I had a wonderful time reading it and would recommend for people who enjoyed the first book, 'The Spellshop', and also other cozy fantasies like 'Legends and Lattes'. Or for people who are looking for books that give them the same feeling as games like 'Stardew Valley' or 'My Time at Portia'.

I needed a cozy book to break me out of my slump.

I love the second chance and growth both MC got. Them fixing the failing greenhouses was so fun to read about.

In punishment for using magic, Terlu Perna is turned into a statue and sentence to be on display as a warning to others. Years later she awakes to discover she is on an almost deserted and unfamiliar island with magical greenhouses, a flying cat, and a grumpy (and handsome) gardener who believes she can save the failing magic of the island. This cozy fantasy read is atmospheric and romantic, with well-developed and loveable characters.

I absolutely loved this book! Sarah Beth Durst has done it again with a cozy fantasy that is 100% cozy. This is a standalone from The Spellshop. But if you loved Caz as much as I do, then you'll get to learn about how Caz came to be. As much as I was excited to see him mentioned in the beginning of the book, I can understand why wasn't part of Terlu's future.

But don't worry, our fearless Librarian (Yes, she's a Librarian!!!!), does what she does best. She researches to find a way to help a sentient sassy rose and the other plants in the greenhouse. There's adventure. There's romance with a grumpy gardener. And all you want to do is find this greenhouse to escape the world.

Sarah Beth Durst returns with another cozy fantasy full of characters that will warm your heart, bring you joy, and leave you full of hope.

This follow up to The Spellshop is delightful! Cozy, with charming characters, I found myself looking forward to the chance to read more about Terlu, Yarrow, and Lotti. Fans of The Spellshop will not be disappointing. Readers who have not read The Spellshop won't be confused if they start with The Enchanted Greenhouse. This book is fun escapism.

This was such an enchanting (see what I did there) read. The world is bright and immersive. Such a good companion to The Spellshop. This book really shined on its own though. The characters were fun to read as well. Can't wait to see what Sarah Beth Durst puts out next. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read it in advance.

I am not a plant person. My thumb is orange. When I read The Spellshop, I had no clue how much I was going to love a plant character. I kind of thought it was a one off, but Sarah Beth Durst said "bet."

While I don't think anything will beat The Spellshop, The Enchanted Greenhouse came Damm close. I didn't think I'd care too much about the story of Terlu, the Librarian that created Caz, but I quite enjoyed it. Durst introduced us to more sentient plants, all with their own personalities, and all completely loveable. Whereas Caz is on the anxious side, Lottie the rose is, on the other hand is kind of wild and sassy.

This is a wonderful, equally cozy followup to The Spellshop. A must-read for those who loved the magic of the fist one.

Thank you to Bramble and Netgalley for the eArc. All opinions are my own.
