The manual for the floral-obsessed.

If you’ve ever looked at a patch of dirt and seen a future filled with armfuls of dahlias, Olivia McCord is speaking your language. The Floral Dream is the ultimate guide for the New Zealand gardener who believes a house without fresh, home-grown flowers is essentially unfinished.

This isn't just a book of pretty pictures; it’s a practical, down-to-earth manual for creating a thriving cutting garden in your own backyard. Whether you’re a total novice or a seasoned pro with permanent soil under your nails, Olivia offers the kind of "insider" advice we live for. She dives deep into the species that actually flourish in New Zealand conditions, covering the show-stopping focal blooms that demand centre stage, the textural fillers that add softness, and the structural foliage that brings it all into balance.

With Olivia’s guidance, you’ll learn the art of nurturing each plant so your garden can reward you with seasonal armfuls to enjoy and share. It’s time to stop dreaming and start growing.

Reviews

“I wish I had discovered this years ago. Made the perfect gift for the man who ‘has it all’. Beautifully crafted, I was pleasantly surprised how heavy and sharp it was. Would buy again.”

“I love the easy access both sides, the height was sufficient to grown runner beans on a tall mesh frame and it’s very easy to put together but may need two people to lift the net over the framework. Just love it.”

“I have one and it is a game changer. Enough pockets to totally fit all the tools I wanted to carry. It's great to have them all in one handy place when I'm working in the garden instead of floating around in the bottom of the wheelbarrow.”

“Where has this tool been all my life? It is awesome, works brilliantly, even with older dried out flax. Literally like a hot knife through butter."
