Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen

The Waverley's have always been a curious family, endowed with peculiar gifts that make them outsiders even in their hometown of Bascom, North Carolina. Even their garden has a reputation. A successful caterer, Claire Waverley prepares dishes made with her mystical plants. Meanwhile, her elderly cousin, Evanelle, distributes unexpected gifts whose uses become uncannily clear. They are the last of the Waverleys. Until suddenly Sydney, Claire's sister that had fled Bascom as soon as she'd been able to, returns home with a young daughter of her own.. Soon the sisters realize they must deal with their common legacy--if they are ever to feel at home in Bascom...or with each other
