Flowers Delivered to Footscray

Footscray Hospital on Gordon Street takes a good share of what we send to the suburb, and hospital flowers have their own rules. They need a patient name and a ward, they need to survive a trolley and a shelf with no vase, and they sometimes need redirecting when a patient has gone home. Our signature bag, with its water vessel, was designed for exactly that.

Beyond the hospital, Footscray is the market, the restaurants around Nicholson Street and Barkly Street, the Victoria University campus on the river, and the new apartment towers by the station. The older streets of weatherboards and terraces around Footscray Park are on the same short run from the studio.

What Footscray Relies On

Market Floor Before Daylight

Our buyers have stood at the same stalls at the Melbourne market since 2007, and the growers hold their best lines for them. Footscray arrangements are designed from those lines, and a box that does not measure up is handed back before it leaves the floor.

Every Stem Checked at Southbank

Footscray flowers, like every other order, are opened and gone through bunch by bunch at Southbank, and anything short is returned. The keepers are stripped, cut and conditioned in clean buckets, and most are designed within twenty four hours. The florist on your order checks the stems again as it takes shape and gives it a last look before it leaves for Footscray.

Water Under the Stems on a Ward

Ward staff rarely have a vase to spare, so our signature bag carries its own water vessel in the base. Flowers go to Footscray standing in water and can be handed over in the bag and left as they are. Refresh the water daily. If anything is not right, we replace it or refund it.

Footscray Occasions

Footscray asks for get well flowers for the hospital and new baby arrangements for the maternity ward more than anything else, with birthdays, thank yous, graduation flowers for the university and sympathy arrangements through the year. Tell our florists who the flowers are for and they design to suit, using roses, lilies, tulips and whatever came back from the market that morning.

Footscray Delivery Questions

Can I get same day flower delivery to Footscray?

Yes, on orders in before 1pm. After that the flowers travel on the next delivery day. Footscray is covered Monday to Saturday.

What will delivery to Footscray cost?

Checkout shows the Footscray delivery cost from the address before you pay.

Do you deliver to Footscray Hospital?

Most weeks. Give us the patient's full name, the ward and a contact number, and our florist will hand the flowers to the ward desk in the bag, standing in water.

What if the patient has already gone home?

We call the number on the order and, wherever we can, take the flowers to the home address instead.

What flowers will be in a Footscray order?

Dawn's best from the market. Through the year that means roses, lilies, tulips, hydrangeas, ranunculus and natives, and there are plants, wine and gifts if a ward does not take flowers.
