Flemington flower delivery by Kate Hill Flowers

Flemington Florist

Flemington sits on our northern run, a short drive up from the Southbank studio past Kensington. Our florists deliver to Racecourse Road, the streets around Wellington Street and the homes toward Mount Alexander Road six days a week, and anything ordered before 1pm goes out the same day.

Getting Flowers to Flemington

Racecourse Road carries most of the suburb. The shops along it, the apartments above them and the side streets running down toward the river are all inside one tight delivery loop, and our florists are on that road most mornings anyway on the way to Ascot Vale and Moonee Ponds.

Then there is the racecourse itself, which changes what Flemington orders. Through the spring carnival the address on a Flemington order is as likely to be a marquee, an office or a hotel as a house, and those deliveries need a contact number because nobody stands still on a race day.

What Happens Before Flemington Sees the Flowers

First Pick, Six Days a Week

Our buyers have worked the Melbourne market since 2007. Growers hold back their better bunches for people they know, and that is the whole reason a Flemington arrangement can carry stems that were still in a field the day before yesterday. It also buys the right to refuse a box, which they use.

Two Sets of Eyes on Every Stem

The bench at Southbank is where the real sorting happens. Boxes are opened, stems are checked one at a time, and anything marked or tired never makes it into an order. What stays is conditioned in clean water, designed within a day, and looked over again before it is packed for Flemington.

Arriving With Water Already There

Flowers travel to Flemington standing in water, because our signature bag has a vessel seated in its base. A marquee, a reception desk or a front porch all work as a destination, since nothing has to be unpacked straight away. Refresh the water daily. If anything is not right, we replace it or refund it.

What Flemington Sends and When

Spring brings a run of race day flowers and hotel deliveries, but the rest of the Flemington year is steady, with birthdays, new babies, anniversaries, thank you arrangements and sympathy flowers. Our florists work to the occasion and to what is good on the day, which through the seasons means roses, lilies, tulips, dahlias, hydrangeas and native stems.

Flemington Delivery Questions

Do you deliver to Flemington on the same day?

Yes, when the order is placed before 1pm. Past 1pm it leaves on the following delivery day. Flemington is covered Monday to Saturday.

What will I pay to have flowers delivered to Flemington?

The charge appears at checkout once the Flemington address is in, so there is no surprise on the receipt.

Can you deliver to Flemington Racecourse on a race day?

We do, though a mobile number is essential because marquees and gates move. Give us the enclosure or marquee name at checkout and we will get as close to it as the day allows.

Do you deliver to the apartment blocks on Racecourse Road?

Yes. Include the apartment number and buzzer code if there is one, and our florist will use the intercom or leave the flowers with building management.

What flowers go into a Flemington order?

The pick of that morning at market. Depending on the season that is tulips, ranunculus, roses, peonies, lilies or natives, and there are plants, wine and gifts as alternatives.
