Welcome to another one of my blog posts that will essentially prepare you to find the best spots in NZ and have the ‘gram absolutely popping off! Despite perhaps not having the most expansive provisions of gorgeous blooms in New Zealand such as Holland do we have more than enough to tickle you pink with excitement and flood your DMs!

Ever since I was a child I‘ve always been excited to explore new places, but also revisit some of the gems that really make me happy and spark joy! Flowers are something that truly do make me happy, and to be honest I think that is the case for most people.

Receiving and being around flowers is a special feeling, even back when I was younger for graduating primary school (the thought made me feel like a million dollars!), attaining fun awards, graduating high school, arriving back home after a long trip, to show love and to pick me up after a rough day. Anyway, without me harping on about how lovely flowers are, I’m pretty sure everyone has their favorite right? At a younger age it was daisies, when I could celebrate my first proper valentines day it was roses, and now I’m going through a big dried flower phase. Not only do they last forever, but they look stunning too!


Nevertheless, I always tend to go back to something that consistently is beautiful, smells amazing and despite the bees is found literally everywhere. Lavender!

Because lavender is so versatile it’s always been one of my favorite scents, assisting me with any anxiety, feeling calm and just relaxation. It’s a special bloom that holds all the feelings of strength and capability.

Once I started getting more into Instagram and Blogging, I started following various accounts and seeing what they would show off around their countries and I saw so many people posting about gorgeous flower fields. Seeing that NZ has some of their own to show off I knew I had to start checking them out!
