Book: The After-hours Stylist
Growing, gathering, and creating through the seasons
By Kate Williams
A love of nature and a need to celebrate what each season offers is at the heart of Kate Williams’ creative life. In The After-hours Stylist, she invites readers into her flower-filled world — where homegrown florals, seasonal food, gatherings, and thoughtful rituals come together in beautiful, meaningful ways.
From early mornings in the garden to candlelit tables shared with loved ones, this book is a reflection of how Kate lives: creatively, generously, and with heart. Based on her popular floral workshops and garden events in rural Canterbury, The After-hours Stylist draws on years of hands-on experience to show how she arranges, creates, paints, cooks, and celebrates each season — with Christmas being a favourite of all.
Whether hosting a tea party, propagating dahlia seeds in winter, baking hot cross buns, or styling foliage in a vintage vase, Kate shows you how to repurpose, think creatively, and find simple elegance at home and in the garden.
Created in collaboration with interiors and lifestyle photographer Anna McLeod, this 300+ page hardcover is filled with hundreds of stunning images and thoughtful ideas.
Inside, you’ll find:
• Seasonal floral inspiration and home-grown arrangements
• Table settings, celebrations, and creative rituals
• Practical ideas for everyday beauty in the home and garden
• A reminder to slow down and savour the seasons — with heart, creativity, and joy
