Between the houses of No.77 and No.79 on Stoke Newington Green in London, there is a shared garden. It was a beautiful thing once, a little oasis in a bustling city for neighbors by day and the local foxes at twilight. Now it's overgrown and neglected, an empty patch of greenery lost to time. But that suits neighbors Winston and Bernice just fine, their houses may share the garden, but they're not exactly neighborly. But one day, a mysterious parcel drops through Winston's door at No.77. It contains no note, only a bundle of photographs of the garden in bloom many years ago, vibrant with flowers and wildlife, filled with people from every corner of the community. Is someone trying to tell them something? As a seed is planted. Winston and Bernice lay down their arms and pick up their gardening gloves. As they dig and plant, scrub and water, the garden begins to come out of hibernation, and the frostiness between them slowly begins to thaw. In finding their green fingers, the unlikely pair also start to hatch a bigger plan, could the revitalized garden help to revive the community spirit that's been languishing for so long? With a little help from the secret gardener sending the parcels, they're determined to find out.
