What Kensington Is Ordering Today

Flower Delivery Through Kensington

Bellair Street is the spine of it. The village shops sit at one end, Kensington station at the other, and the streets running off it, Altona Street, Eastwood Street and Rankins Road, are where most of our residential deliveries land. These are narrow older streets where parking is tight, so an accurate house number saves real time.

The flatter western half toward Kensington Banks and JJ Holland Park is newer and easier to reach, with townhouses and apartment blocks that mostly have intercoms. The old Younghusband woolstores on Elizabeth Street anchor the middle. All of it sits on the same northern route as Flemington and Ascot Vale, so nothing is driven twice.

How Kensington Flowers Are Chosen and Checked

An Early Start at the Market

Being at the Melbourne market since 2007 means our buyers are known there, and being known is what gets you shown the good lines first. It also means a grower will take back a box without a fuss when the stems are not right, which happens more often than most people would guess.

Sorted Before Anything Is Designed

The boxes come apart on the Southbank bench and every stem is looked at properly. Anything soft or bruised is out before it can reach an order. The rest is stripped, cut and stood in clean water, and most of it is designed and gone inside a day, with a final check before the Kensington run.

A Vessel Built Into the Bag

Every Kensington delivery leaves in our signature bag, which carries its own water vessel in the base. That means the flowers are still drinking when they reach a Bellair Street doorstep, and nobody needs to find a vase in the first five minutes. Top the water up daily. Anything wrong, we replace it or refund it.

Reasons Kensington Sends Flowers

Birthdays lead the Kensington orders, with new baby flowers close behind and plenty of thank you arrangements to neighbours and teachers. Anniversaries, apologies and sympathy flowers come through steadily across the year. Our florists design to the occasion rather than to a catalogue photograph, using peonies, roses, tulips, disbuds and whatever else the buyers carried back at dawn.

Kensington Collections Worth a Look

Kensington and the Suburbs Beside It

Our northern route takes in Flemington deliveries, Ascot Vale arrangements, flowers into North Melbourne, West Melbourne orders and the Moonee Ponds page alongside Kensington. The rest are set out on our full suburb list.

Kensington Questions We Get Asked

Is same day delivery available in Kensington?

Yes, on orders placed before 1pm. Later orders travel on the next delivery day, and Kensington is covered Monday to Saturday.

What is the delivery charge for Kensington?

It is worked out at checkout from the Kensington address you enter, and nothing is added after you pay.

Can flowers be left if nobody is home in Kensington?

Yes, if you tell us where. Our florist will use a porch, a side gate or a neighbour, out of direct sun. The water vessel in the bag keeps the stems drinking until they are brought inside.

Do you deliver to the schools and childcare centres around Macaulay Road?

Regularly. Add the centre name and the recipient at checkout and the flowers go to the front office, which is the simplest place for staff to receive them.

What sort of flowers should I expect?

Our buyers decide that at dawn. Through the seasons it means ranunculus, tulips, roses, lilies, hydrangeas and natives, plus plants and gifts if flowers are not quite right.
