Poole Park is known for its beautiful gardens and stunning lake, all thanks to the hard work of the legendary gardener Teresa Green.

As one of her latest discoveries, a rare Mandeville plant, goes missing, Chief Inspector Eve Ningall and her team have drawn up a list of suspects and possible evidence.
