Carlton Orders Going Out

View all

Flowers Delivered Through Carlton

Carlton is a straight run north from Southbank. Lygon Street, Rathdowne Street, Drummond Street, the terraces along the gardens and the university buildings in between are all part of the daily route, and a Carlton order placed in the morning is usually delivered before the afternoon is out.

A good share of Carlton deliveries are going to a workplace or a ward rather than a house. The Royal Melbourne and the Royal Women's are close by, and university departments order for farewells and thank yous through the year. Both need a name, a floor and a contact number, which is what our checkout asks for.

What Makes the Difference for Carlton

Sourced Before Dawn Breaks

Our buyers have worked the Melbourne market since 2007, and the relationships now do the heavy lifting. Growers hold things back for people they trust, which is why a good share of what comes back to Southbank was spoken for before it reached the floor. It also means we can say no, and most mornings we do.

Our Designers Take Their Time

Nothing is accepted at the studio without being opened and looked over first. Stems that do not measure up go back. What we keep is conditioned in clean buckets so it is ready when a florist reaches for it, usually the same day and rarely more than two. There is a check while it is being designed and again before it leaves, and it holds to the design you chose.

Arriving Upright and Ready

Flowers for Carlton travel upright, in water. The vessel sits in the base of our own bag, held the way a coffee tray holds a cup, so there is no wet pack and no chance of a dry stem. Leave it in the bag if that is easier. It was made to be left, which is what makes it kind on a ward, a desk or a front counter. Top the water up each day. If anything disappoints, we replace it or refund it.

Carlton Occasions

Carlton sends flowers for birthdays and anniversaries, for new babies at the Women's, for the end of a thesis and for sympathy. Restaurants along Lygon Street order for openings and apologies both. Say what the flowers are for and our florists will design to it, using roses, hydrangeas, peonies and whatever came back best that morning.

Sending Flowers to Carlton, The Details

Do you offer same day delivery in Carlton?

Yes, on orders placed before 1pm, Monday to Saturday. Later orders are delivered on the next available day.

How much will delivery to Carlton be?

Checkout works it out from the Carlton address you enter, so the exact delivery cost is visible before you confirm the order.

What do you do if the recipient is out?

The signature bag has a water vessel built into it, which means the arrangement can be left safely out of the sun or with someone nearby and still be in good shape later. We let you know where we left it.

Can you deliver to the hospitals and the university?

Yes, and often. Ward, level, department or business name plus a contact number is all we need at checkout. Our florist speaks to reception on arrival, and the water vessel in the bag means the flowers can wait at a desk without a vase.

How do you decide which stems go in?

Whatever was at its peak that morning. The choosing happens at the market before dawn, so the range moves with the season rather than staying fixed. Expect roses, hydrangeas, peonies, lilies, tulips and natives at different points in the year, plus plants, wine and gifts.
