The Potted Gardener is the third Agatha Raisin mystery novel by Marion Chesney under her pseudonym M. C. Beaton.

Agatha Raisin comes home to cozy Carsely after a long vacation in New York, Bermuda, Montreal, Paris, Greece, Italy & Turkey, and finds that a new woman has piqued the interest of her handsome bachelor neighbor, James Lacey. Agatha is less than thrilled. The beautiful newcomer to the Cotswolds, Mary Fortune, is superior in every way—especially when it comes to gardening—and Mary is very involved in the Horticultural Society. If only a nice juicy murder would come along to remind James of Agatha’s genius for investigation. There are a series of mysterious assaults on the town’s finest gardens, followed by a shocking murder.
