But it’s not all flowers and sunshine at the grand opening, when Willow discovers the body of another contestant, Dr. Charles White, face down in her garden. Willow’s hunky boyfriend, Jackson Spade, immediately becomes a suspect due to a recent fight with Dr. White. Willow knows she has to remedy the situation, but it won’t be easy with the other applicants’ vendettas and vandals wrecking her garden at every turn. And when she finds buried treasure in her garden that just might belong to the legendary Captain Kidd, the stakes become even higher. Was Dr. White searching for that treasure? Did someone kill him to get to it first? With the help of Jackson and her eccentric ex-boyfriend, Willow follows the clues to uncover the truth that someone wants buried… But can she dig up enough evidence before she becomes the killer’s next victim?Garden of Death chapter one Willow McQuade’s Favorite Medicinal Plants ALOE VERA Botanical name: Aloe barbadensis Medicinal uses: Aloe is a handy plant that no household should be without. This juicy, succulent plant features spiky leaves that contain a thick gel that you can use topically to soothe and heal minor burns, sunburns, and blisters and prevents scarring. You can also use it for insect bites, rashes, acne, and other skin conditions like eczema, poison ivy, and poison oak. Place this hardy plant on your kitchen windowsill or plant in your garden. Just make sure your aloe plant has sunshine, well-drained soil, and moderate water, and then watch it grow and reap the many benefits it provides! Gardening is one of my favorite natural remedies.

Then I pulled off my gloves, sat back on my heels, and reviewed what I’d done so far that afternoon. I’d planted over a dozen plants in the garden’s Medicinal Herbs for Heart Health section. The leaves and flowers fluttered in the sea breeze, but the roots of the plants were secure. I dispense natural remedies, both as a naturopathic doctor and as the owner of Nature’s Way Market & Café. The store originally belonged to my aunt Claire. But when Claire was murdered, I left Los Angeles for good and moved back to my hometown of Greenport, on the East End of Long Island. I knew I had to find Claire’s murderer, which—to the local cops’ surprise—I did. Almost as difficult was taking over Nature’s Way. I couldn’t let everything that Claire had worked so hard to build disappear. Now, a little more than a year later, I felt like an actual business owner. Nature’s Way was operating in the black, and I was ready for a new project. Last June I took a trip to London to visit a cou...
