In the Garden is a six-book series that Lenora Worth published between 2001 and 2005. When Love Came to Town (2001) starts the collection, with Something Beautiful and Lacey’s Retreat following in 2002.
The later entries, Blue Dahlia (2003), Black Rose (2005), and Red Lily (2005), lean into the floral naming convention. The garden theme ties these romances together through imagery of growth and renewal, a natural match for Worth’s inspirational approach.
