Flower Delivery Into Canterbury

Maling Road is the part of Canterbury everyone knows, an Edwardian shopping strip with narrow shopfronts and verandah posts. Deliveries there go to a named business rather than a number, since the frontages are small and several shops share an entrance.

The rest of the suburb is large Federation and interwar homes on wide, tree lined streets, particularly around Mont Albert Road and Canterbury Road. Gates and long front paths are common, so our florists allow extra time, and a mobile number on the order helps when a house is set back behind a hedge.

What Canterbury Flowers Go Through First

A Buyer Who Is Recognised

Our buyers have bought at the Melbourne market since 2007. Over that time growers have come to show them the better lines first, which is the practical reason a Canterbury arrangement can carry stems cut the evening before. It also means they can decline a box and nobody takes offence.

Nothing Reaches an Order Unchecked

Sorting happens at the Southbank bench before a single arrangement starts. Stems are handled individually and the weak ones are pulled. What passes is stripped, cut and stood in clean water, and your florist reviews the Canterbury order again as it comes together and before it is packed.

Stems That Arrive Drinking

A vessel of water sits in the base of our signature bag, so Canterbury flowers arrive still drinking. They can wait on a porch or a shop counter without anybody hunting for a vase first. Change the water daily once they are inside. If anything is not right, we replace it or refund it.

The Occasions Canterbury Marks

Canterbury orders are weighted toward anniversaries, significant birthdays and sympathy flowers, with thank you arrangements for schools and community groups a steady presence. New baby flowers come through regularly as well. Our florists design to the occasion, working with roses, lilies, hydrangeas, peonies, ranunculus and the seasonal stems that came off the market that morning.

Canterbury and the Run Around It

Canterbury Delivery Questions

Can I send flowers to Canterbury today?

Yes, if the order is in before 1pm. An order after 1pm is sent the following delivery day. Canterbury is covered Monday to Saturday.

What does it cost to deliver to Canterbury?

The charge is shown at checkout once your Canterbury address is entered, before you pay anything.

Do you deliver to the shops on Maling Road?

Frequently. Give us the business name rather than just the street number, because several of the shopfronts there share a doorway.

The front gate is usually locked. What happens?

Add a note and a mobile number at checkout. Our florist will call, and if there is no answer the flowers go somewhere shaded and sheltered, still standing in their water.

Which stems will you actually use?

The market that morning decides it. Through the year that means peonies, ranunculus, tulips, roses, lilies, dahlias and natives, with plants, wine and gifts available instead.
