Sending Flowers to Elwood

Elwood is a short drive down Beaconsfield Parade from our Southbank studio, which is why so much of what we send there goes out on the same morning it was ordered. Ormond Road, Glen Huntly Road, the streets running down towards the canal and the apartment blocks along the foreshore are all part of the regular run.

Apartments are the thing to get right in Elwood. Buzzers, side entrances and building managers all slow a delivery down when there is guesswork, so we ask for the apartment number and a contact mobile at checkout and our florist rings ahead rather than leaving flowers in a foyer and hoping.

Why Elwood Orders Come to Us

The Habit of Turning Up

Buying at the same market since 2007 changes what you get offered. Our buyers know the growers worth waiting for, they know the floor, and a good share of what they bring back to Southbank was spoken for before it was ever set out. They are also hard to please, which is the part that matters most to Elwood.

Conditioned for the Days Ahead

Every delivery is opened and checked at the studio, and some of it goes back the same morning. What passes is cut and conditioned in freshly cleaned buckets and is generally designed within twenty four hours. Your florist checks the stems again as your Elwood arrangement comes together, and it is checked a final time before the courier takes it. It follows the design you chose.

Care That Does Not Stop at the Door

Flowers for Elwood stand in water the whole way. Our bag holds a real vessel in its base, seated like a coffee cup in a takeaway tray so it cannot go over, and the stems never sit against a damp pad. It can be set down and left exactly as it arrived, which is why it is welcome on a hospital ward or a reception desk. Change the water daily. If it is not right, we replace it or refund it.

The Reasons Elwood Orders

Elwood sends a lot of birthday and new baby flowers, and a lot of thank yous between neighbours. We also deliver sympathy arrangements to homes and to the chapels nearby, where we take a quieter approach and never push a same day order on anyone. Tell our florists the occasion and they will design to it.

Ordering for Elwood, Explained

Is same day delivery to Elwood possible?

Yes. Get the order in before 1pm and it is delivered in Elwood that day, Monday through Saturday. After 1pm it moves to the next delivery day.

How is the Elwood delivery fee worked out?

It is calculated from the address at checkout. Enter the Elwood address and the exact figure shows before payment, with nothing added afterwards.

Nobody will be home. Can you still deliver?

Yes. Our signature bag carries its own water vessel, so flowers left in a shaded spot, with a neighbour or at a building entrance keep perfectly well until someone gets home. You will hear from us about where they ended up.

Can you get flowers into an Elwood apartment building?

We do this daily. Add the apartment or level number and a mobile at checkout. Our florist will work with the building manager or concierge, and because the bag holds water the flowers can safely wait at the desk.

What stems will be included?

It depends on the morning. It comes off the market floor that morning, so the mix follows the season rather than a fixed recipe. Tulips, ranunculus, natives and roses come through, and there are plants, wine and gifts as well.
