 The Enchanted Greenhouse by Sarah Beth Durst was an absolute cozy fantasy dream. The book follows Terlu Perna, the librarian who was turned into a statue for doing the spell that gave Caz sentient life. Terlu wakes up from years of being a statue in a freezing cold place and cannot find the sorcerer who woke her. Before she freezes to death she finds a magical greenhouse and the grumpy gardener who takes care of it. Together they must revive the dormant sentient plants and protect the magic from destroying the greenhouse after the sorcerer who created it died.

I loved this book. I've been reading not great books lately so this was an absolute dream. I got the chance to listen to the audiobook and it is the same narrator from the Spellshop which I loved because her narration there was great in my opinion. I really liked that we have plenty of sentient plants that get their own personalities. I did not think that they were the same as Caz but thought they were still great in their own way. I also enjoyed the little side romance that we got, I thought it was sweet even if the FMC was a little naive at times. 

I recommend this book to anyone who likes cozy fantasies or is looking for a nice cozy book to get lost in. I do not recommend this book for anyone looking for action, twists and turns, and really cunning characters. I recommend the audiobook a million times because it was absolutely delightful! I had to do a long drive and popped it on and it made my drive so pleasant. 

Thank you to NetGalley, Macmillan Audio, and Sarah Beth Durst for allowing me to listen to this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
