Parkville flower delivery by Kate Hill Flowers

Parkville Florist

Parkville is the hospital and university precinct just north of the city, plus the quiet terraces around Royal Park, and its flowers are designed in our Southbank studio. Order before 1pm, Monday to Saturday, and they leave Southbank the same day for a ward, a lab, a college or a house on a Parkville street.

Wards, Colleges and Terraces in Parkville

The Parkville precinct has four major hospitals. The Royal Melbourne Hospital and the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre face each other across Grattan Street, and the Royal Women's and the Royal Children's are on Flemington Road. The Peter Mac's postal address reads Melbourne 3000, so use the address exactly as the hospital gives it, suburb included. Before you order for a patient, check with the ward that flowers are welcome, then give us their full name, ward, bed number if known and a phone number.

Away from the hospitals, Parkville is quiet. Parkville South has two storey Victorian terraces with iron lace on streets like Park Drive, Parkville North faces Royal Parade, and Parkville Gardens, the former Commonwealth Games village, sits by Royal Park. The University of Melbourne and its colleges are on the southern side, with the new Parkville station under Grattan Street.

Fresh Enough for a Hospital Bedside

Bought to Last a Hospital Stay

Hospital flowers have to last, and that starts at the Melbourne market, where our buyers have chosen stock since 2007. The growers know we will refuse a tired box, so they bring their freshest lines to us first, and those are the stems that end up beside a Parkville bed.

Plenty of Life Left in Every Stem

Anything soft, bruised or already opening too wide is pulled out on the Southbank bench before design begins. The rest are cut and given clean water, and the florist checks them again as your arrangement is made. A patient should get flowers with plenty of life left in them.

No Vase Needed on the Ward

A hospital room rarely has a spare vase, so our signature bag carries its own water vessel in the base, and the flowers can stay in it on a bedside table or a windowsill. Change the water daily, and if the arrangement is not right, tell us within 10 days and we will replace it or refund it.

Parkville Babies, Recoveries and Graduations

Parkville sees new babies at the Women's, children recovering at the Royal Children's and patients in treatment at the Peter Mac and the Royal Melbourne, as well as students and researchers marking results and new jobs. The keepers at Melbourne Zoo have birthdays too. Tell our florists who the flowers are for, and if they are for a patient, say so.

Sending to Parkville, Answered

Can a patient in Parkville get flowers today?

Yes, when you order before 1pm on a delivery day. Delivery days are Monday to Saturday, and there are none on Sundays or public holidays. Order after 1pm and checkout will offer the next delivery day.

How much does delivery to Parkville cost?

Parkville has its own delivery price, like every suburb. Type Parkville into the delivery suburb box on any product page and it shows before you pick an arrangement.

Can flowers be sent to a patient at one of the Parkville hospitals?

Yes. Give us the hospital, the patient's full name, the ward, the bed number if you know it and a phone number. Ring the ward first to check that flowers are welcome there, and that the patient has not been discharged.

What happens if a Parkville recipient is not there?

At a home, a safe and shaded spot or a neighbour will do, and that is where the flowers are left. With neither, we contact you first. If we cannot reach you, the flowers return to our Southbank store and we contact you once more to arrange redelivery or collection.

What time will Parkville flowers be delivered?

Parkville flowers go out between 9am and 5pm on the day. That is a window, not a booked time, so if they need to arrive by a certain time for a patient or a celebration, add a note at checkout and we will do our best.
