Confessions of Beau the Gardener

Book 6 of 6 – The Inheritance

The summary of the sixth and last book in the series is as follows:

In 1987, Beau forms an unlikely friendship with Albert Thorne, a reclusive scholar who hires him to restore the wild gardens of Thorne Manor. Their bond deepens over shared passions and quiet conversations, with Albert revealing fragments of his adventurous past—lost love, artistic dreams, and youthful rebellion. As Albert’s health declines, he confides in Beau his wish for Thorne Manor to become a place of beauty and learning. After Albert’s passing, Beau inherits the estate and discovers a heartfelt letter urging him to embrace life boldly. Inspired, Beau transforms the manor into a thriving horticultural school, blending Albert’s love of wild gardens with his own innovative vision. The legacy lives on as students flock to study amid the delphiniums Albert cherished, proving that the greatest inheritances are not land or wealth, but the seeds of inspiration planted between kindred spirits.

The initial opening credit music is “Boy, you've got it”, which does run to approximately 3 minutes plus and the “customer” is hungry for his presence. The closing music, “Same time next week, ends the story with a cheerful optimism, I am coming back don't worry absence makes the heart grow fonder and release then is so much sweeter.

The story and music itself runs to just over 32 minutes and is narrated in my own voice.

I do hope you have enjoyed this audiobook series and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come
