Flowers Delivered to Abbotsford

Victoria Street is Abbotsford's front door, with its Vietnamese restaurants and grocers, and flowers for a table or a counter there are a regular part of the run. Behind it the suburb is converted warehouses, new apartments along the river, the convent and the children's farm, and terraces on the streets around Victoria Park.

Abbotsford is close enough to the studio that flowers are often at a door before mid morning. It sits between Collingwood and Richmond on a route we drive daily, from stems chosen at the market that same dawn.

What Abbotsford Gets From Southbank

The Pick Before the Floor Opens

Abbotsford arrangements begin at the Melbourne market, where the growers have sold to our buyers since 2007 and bring their best lines over before the rest of the floor sees them. Every Abbotsford order is designed from those lines, and a box that is not right is refused at the stall.

Opened and Checked at Southbank

Abbotsford orders are opened bunch by bunch on the Southbank bench, and anything short is sent back to the market. What we keep is stripped, cut and conditioned in fresh buckets, and most of it is designed within twenty four hours. The florist on your order checks it again as it comes together and once more before it leaves.

Water Through the Warehouse Door

Warehouse conversions and apartment buildings rarely have a vase to hand, which is why our signature bag carries a water vessel in its base. Flowers reach Abbotsford standing in water and can be left in the bag with a concierge or at a reception desk. Top the water up each day. If anything is wrong, we replace it or refund it.

The Occasions Abbotsford Marks

Abbotsford's everyday orders are birthdays, thank yous, apologies and anniversaries, with congratulations for new businesses, new baby flowers for the apartments along the river and sympathy arrangements through the year. Tell our florists the occasion and they design to it, using roses, dahlias, natives and whatever the buyers brought back that morning.
