Absolutely lovely! Chocolat meets Notting Hill!! Captivated from the start! Skipping through channels and came to abrupt halt with this! A 5 min coffee break ended up getting lost in Bella's garden! Thought provoking at time, sentimental and heart warming with that ever so charming British humor...or is it sarcasm! This film exposes the inner magic and creative charm we have seem to have lost in society today!

I did not expect to fall head over heels in love with this movie, as I wound up doing. Utterly winsome and charming in a way that is hard to describe. Just when I thought movie were crass, violent or redundant, here comes a treasure unexpected.

Yes, we kind of know what might happen, yes, it's possibly a little clichéd and no, there are no car chases, bombs, aliens, horrible soundtracks or cell phones! PHEW! I needed a gentle movie that didn't confuse love with sex, that didn't worry me with the world coming to an end or have truly silly plot lines that I couldn't follow... and which might create a warm spot in my Saturday afternoon, and this sweet, honest movie was perfect for that!Delightful if you're a gardener or not, a writer or not, a reader of books or not. It was simply lovely to look at, hopeful in the pursuit of love and for the two really hideous reviews left on IMDB regarding it, I think that perhaps they were watching another movie altogether. Beautiful and recommended and nothing like Amelie and I don't think it was trying to be!

with all the negative fake news and all the mean selfish people abounding in life, this movie was a much needed respite from it all. Wow, so heart-tugging and captivating on so many levels. I'm not a Gardner, but I'm a human being with a heart, so this was not only a relief, but a true winner of a movie. I open my heart and door to people like this in real life. These are the type of characters that truly enrich us.
