Everything is always better with friends..... The New Zealand Alpine Garden Society , South Island Daffodil Society and the Combined Canterbury Floral Art Groups join forces for an extravaganza. 

​Keynote Address 

Julia Atkinson-Dunn

Julia Atkinson-Dunn shares the story of her pathway to gardening, from zero interest to life and work entirely inspired by what she has grown in her own backyard. 
She is an entertaining speaker who talks with enthusiasm about her former life in the snow and design industries before uncovering new surprising opportunities by embarking on a personal gardening adventure in her urban Christchurch garden. In just five years she has published two books, writes a regular gardening column for Stuff and has formed an art practice entirely informed by the floral world she has discovered. 
Experienced and new gardeners will equally enjoy her candid and energetic talk, likely sharing in her passion for the benefits of gardening. 

Please book, $10 on Eventbrite to be assured of your seat.
