Sending Flowers to North Melbourne

North Melbourne is close enough to Southbank that flowers often arrive there before mid morning. Errol Street, Victoria Street, Queensberry Street and the terrace streets running off them are on the standard route, along with the newer apartment buildings towards the station.

The Royal Melbourne Hospital sits on the edge of the suburb and accounts for a good number of our North Melbourne deliveries. Ward flowers need a patient name and a ward number to arrive properly, and they need to survive a trolley ride and a shelf with no vase on it, which is what our bag is built for.

What North Melbourne Relies On

Held Back for Our Bench

Growers keep their good work for the customers who have been there the longest. We have been there since 2007, which is why our buyers see a lot of it before it reaches the floor. It also means they can hand a box back without a fuss, and they do that far more often than they take one.

From Bucket to Bouquet

At the studio the flowers are checked as they come off the van, and what is not right does not get accepted. The rest is conditioned in clean buckets and almost all of it is designed within twenty four hours. The florist making it checks it again, and there is a last check before it leaves. The design you ordered is the design that arrives.

The Careful Last Mile

Flowers reach North Melbourne standing in water. Our signature bag carries a vessel in its base, held in place like a coffee cup in a tray, so it travels without tipping and the stems never dry out. It can be left in the bag as it is, which matters on a hospital ward or a reception desk where a vase is the last thing anyone can find. Top it up daily. If it is not right, we replace it or refund it.

Big Days and Ordinary Ones

North Melbourne sends get well and new baby flowers to the hospital, and birthday, thank you and sympathy arrangements to homes and offices around the suburb. Tell our florists the occasion and they design for it, using roses, hydrangeas, peonies and whatever our buyers rated highest that morning.

North Melbourne, Question by Question

Can I send flowers to North Melbourne today?

Yes, if you order before 1pm. Deliveries run Monday to Saturday and anything later than the 1pm cut off goes on the next run.

What is delivery to North Melbourne priced at?

Checkout calculates it from the address, so the North Melbourne delivery cost is shown to you before you pay.

What happens when there is no one there?

Because our signature bag has its own water vessel, an arrangement can be left in shade or with a neighbour and still be fresh when it is picked up. We send you a note saying where it is.

Do you deliver to the Royal Melbourne Hospital?

Yes. Include the patient name and the ward at checkout along with a contact number. Ward staff rarely have a spare vase, so the water vessel in our bag means the flowers can go straight to the bedside as they are.

What is likely to be in the arrangement?

Whatever the morning offered. Our buyers work the stalls before dawn, so the mix follows the season. Freesias, jonquils, tulips and roses come around through the year, and there are plants, wine and gifts alongside them.
