About Paula Almqvist's "Messages from My Garden," Gartenwelt-Natur wrote: "It was high time that Paula Almqvist's columns from Brigitte Woman were also available as a book, beautifully bound in linen and adorned with a silk ribbon." With "What Blooms for Me," a second volume of stories about Paula Almqvist's garden is now available. Whether she writes about flavor deserts, eternal gardeners, fashionable flowers, and men's paradises (sheds!), luxury gardening tools, or the gardener as a party pooper: "Hardly anyone writes as entertainingly about the joys and sorrows of gardening as Paula Almqvist," states Bloom's. In "What Blooms for Me," there is also a plant portrait for each month of the gardening year, from snowdrops to Christmas stars.
