Sending Flowers to Ascot Vale

Union Road is the village strip, and the cafes and shops along it take flowers for tables and counters most weeks. Off the strip Ascot Vale is Californian bungalows and Edwardian weatherboards on quiet streets, running down to the river on one side and up to the racecourse and the showgrounds on the other.

Ascot Vale sits between Moonee Ponds and Flemington on a run we drive every morning, so flowers chosen at the market at dawn are designed at the studio and on their way up Mount Alexander Road before the morning is out. Nothing is held over.

Why Ascot Vale Orders From Us

Standing at the Market

Because our buyers have been at the Melbourne market since 2007, the growers show them what was cut overnight before it goes on general sale. That first look is where every Ascot Vale arrangement begins, and it comes with the standing to send a box straight back.

The Bench Between Market and Door

As soon as the flowers arrive at Southbank they are opened and checked, and what does not measure up is returned. The rest is cut, conditioned in fresh water and, in almost every case, designed within a day. Your florist checks it again while the arrangement is being made and once more before it leaves for Ascot Vale.

Upright All the Way to Ascot Vale

Our signature bag holds a water vessel in its base, so the stems stand in water for the trip to Ascot Vale and can stay in the bag on a step or a cafe counter. Top the water up each day. If anything is wrong, we replace it or refund it.

What Ascot Vale Sends

Ascot Vale sends birthdays, new baby flowers and thank yous most often, with anniversaries, housewarmings for the renovated bungalows, congratulations for the businesses on Union Road and sympathy arrangements through the year. Tell our florists the occasion and they will design for it, using roses, tulips, dahlias and whatever the buyers chose that morning.
