Petal Power is written in reflection of Julia Atkinson-Dunn's own
adventure as a beginner gardener, sharing a fun selection of
flowering plants that can be grown in her homeland of New Zealand
and any temperate climate across the globe including the UK. The
result is an invaluable guide, encouraging new gardeners to
experiment further with confidence. Written with a casual,
relatable tone, Petal Power provides a friendly partner in your
flower gardening experience, effectively demonstrating the benefits
of reconnecting with the seasons regardless of the size of your
space.
This is a book about flower arranging from the perspective of a
gardener. Harvesting from the garden means short, wonky stems,
bruised petals, insects crawling out of blooms and the open
invitation to claim a weed or vege as vase fodder. Unlike the
demands that florists are under to produce perfection, we at home
are only out to please ourselves, or if they are lucky, our
friends. It’s easy to lose ourselves in the fast pace of life,
family, work and global events beyond our control. Moments of
meditation, creativity and connecting with nature are often
difficult to find, but we are well reminded of the benefits when we
do – the pinching of 30 minutes in a day to wander with secateurs
in hand and the calm comfort in playing with foliage and flowers to
be enjoyed during daily, domestic life. Flowers for Friends is both
a reflection, and story of the seasons brought indoors by Julia
Atkinson-Dunn when harvesting from her garden and foraging in
Canterbury, New Zealand. Written in her signature casual tone (as
seen in her first book Petal Power), Julia offers an accessible
guide to picking, conditioning and arranging home-grown treasures,
celebrating their quirks and encouraging unexpected combinations.
Seasonal chapters profile arrangements she has made, detailing
plants in season and inviting readers to play without the hunt for
perfection, or restraint.
This is a new release of the original 1950 edition.
