Petal Power Reviews

NZ HOUSE AND GARDEN FEB 2021 ISSUE; Kiwi blogger Julia Atkinson-Dunn documents her own adventures as a beginner gardener in her first book. After discovering a passion for gardening, she couldn't find a picture heavy local guide aimed at beginners -so wrote and photographed her own. It's a book of two halves, beginning with a good digestible advice on types of plants, tools you'll need, plant care and design principles. But it's mostly given over to celebrating her 12 favourite plants which are largely whimsical such as cosmos, sweet peas and snapdragons. So you'd have to be a fan of this pretty style to get the most out of this book. It has lovely photographs and rounds out with a guide to picking and arranging, and has recommendations for other resources.

About Julia Atkinson-Dunn

Julia is an established and trusted voice in the online creative community with her design blog and social channels; Studio Home, created as the first of its kind in NZ in 2008. A former interior designer, she shares her relaxed and casual nesting style with readers, encouraging personalised spaces and an exploration of art (including sharing her own flower inspired artworks) Her focus from interior to exterior happened swiftly with a move to a Christchurch villa complete with garden in 2017. With no previous knowledge she began her adventure of transforming the largely shrub filled backyard into a seasonal, floral haven that reflected her personal style. Craving information she sought guidance from gardeners, hungrily soaking up knowledge and inspiration from books and social media. However, the lack of a picture heavy, local guide aimed solely at beginners was missing from her shelf - a prospect she has moved to remedy to help others. Photographed and written by Julia in her own garden over the last 2 years, Petal Power is presented with a modern, friendly tone in reflection of her voice and writing enjoyed by her followers online. She is excited to share her passion for gardening, reflecting the immense benefits and release she has discovered in reconnecting with the seasons.
