Depressing Black Dogs and the Quest for Botanical Blues-Busters (Tales from a Physic Garden Book 3).
Book about mood boosting plants.
The Physic Garden, situated beside the Devil’s Water, is suffering from an outbreak of midwinter SAD. People bring their black dogs of depression to the garden. Flora Sigtrygg, apprentice herbalist, learns from Elkimi, the garden guardian, which herbs help without harming. Johan, a MindSpa mogul summoned to sort out the situation, sets up a black dog training classes in the nearby castle, promoting botanical leads. But one demonic cur, vicious and seemingly abandoned, is destroying the garden as it scares away resident creatures that keep the garden in order. The search for the keeper of this dog is fraught. With her eye firmly fixed on the mogul and her mind focused on the science, Pandora, the garden director, is apparently blind to the chaos. But has an epiphany and Johan, intent on healing others, is forced to confront a demon of his own.
