Flowers Delivered to Essendon

Essendon is grand Victorian and Edwardian houses on wide streets, three big schools and a football ground, and the flowers follow that pattern. Birthdays and anniversaries for the homes off Napier Street and Fletcher Street, end of term thank yous for teachers, and new baby arrangements for the younger families moving in around the station.

It is the second stop on our north western run after Moonee Ponds, and the trams along Mount Alexander Road make it an easy suburb to reach quickly. An order placed at nine is designed at the studio and can be at an Essendon door before lunch, from stems chosen at the market that dawn.

What Essendon Gets From Southbank

Shown the Best First

The growers at the Melbourne market have known our buyers since 2007, and they bring their best lines to them before the rest of the floor gets a look. An Essendon arrangement starts with that pick. It also means a box that is not up to it is refused at the stall, and a few are every morning.

Opened, Sorted, Checked Again

Essendon orders begin on the Southbank bench, where every bunch is opened and gone through before it is accepted and anything short is returned. What stays is stripped, recut and stood in clean water, and most of it is designed within twenty four hours. The florist on your order checks the stems again as it takes shape, then once more before it leaves for Essendon.

Water in the Bag, Not on the Floor

Flowers reach Essendon in our signature bag, standing in a water vessel seated in its base, so nothing tips on the way and nothing dries out. It can stay in the bag on a front step or a school office counter until it is found. Change the water daily. If anything is not right, we replace it or refund it.

The Occasions Essendon Marks

Essendon's everyday orders are birthdays, anniversaries, new babies and thank yous, with get well flowers, congratulations for the businesses on Keilor Road and sympathy arrangements through the year. Tell our florists what the flowers are for and they design to suit, using roses, lilies, hydrangeas and whatever the buyers brought back that morning.

Essendon Delivery Questions

Can I get flowers to Essendon today?

Yes, if the order is in before 1pm. After that it goes on the next delivery day. Essendon is covered Monday to Saturday.

It is shown at checkout once the Essendon address is entered, before any payment.

Do you deliver to schools in Essendon?

Yes, often. Put the school name, the student or teacher and a contact number on the order and our florist will leave the flowers at the office, standing in water.

What if there is nobody home?

Water travels in the bag, so flowers can wait in shade by the door or with a neighbour without harm, and we message you to say where they were left.

The best on the market floor that morning. Through the year that means roses, peonies, lilies, tulips, hydrangeas and natives, with plants, wine and gifts to go with them.
