Spring Planting tells the story of two neighbours, Garnet Black and Jill Foster. Garnet, in his eighties, and Jill, in her thirties, have outlived their respective spouses. They have a lot of unspoken guilt and anger about the deaths of their partners. Garnet's grandson and Jill's daughter have their own problems. The hidden secrets among the four of them eventually spring to the surface like weeds. The result is physical and emotional violence.
