The lost garden / Helen Humphreys.

Summary:

Gwen Davis leaves London amid the burning wreckage left by the German bombings. Gwen has given up her job at the Royal Horticultural Society to volunteer as a captain in the Women's Land Army in Devon. She will supervise a small group of young women whose task is to raise food for the war effort. Awkward with people and inexperienced with men, Gwen initially finds the nonagricultural aspects of her new job beyond her. Gradually she becomes friends with one of the young women and falls in love with the Canadian officer billeted in the adjoining estate.
