When Loriâs Dorothy Parkerâloving grandmother dies, Loriâs world is turned upside down.

Desperate to stay for as long as possible, Lori insists on honoring her grandmotherâs last request before she moves: to scatter Sherylâs ashes near things that grow.
Along with her uncle Seth and Chris, best friend and love-of-her-life crush, Lori sets off on a road trip to visit her grandmotherâs favorite gardens. Dodging forest bathers, scandalized volunteers, and angry homeowners, they come to terms with the shape of life after Grandma Sheryl. Saying goodbye isnât easy, but Lori might just find a way to move forward surrounded by the people she loves.
