Flowers Delivered Across Preston

Preston is a big suburb with a busy middle. High Street carries the cafes, bars and shops, Preston Market brings people in from across the north, and the apartments going up along the tram line have brought a younger crowd to the weatherboard streets either side. Flowers for the businesses along High Street and for the homes behind them are both a regular part of the run.

Preston follows Northcote and Thornbury on our northern run, so flowers chosen at the market at dawn are designed at the studio and heading up Plenty Road before the morning is out. Nothing waits overnight in a cool room.

What Preston Counts On

Ahead of the Floor at Market

Because our buyers have been on the Melbourne market floor since 2007, growers bring them the pick of the night's cutting before it goes on general sale. Preston arrangements start from that pick, and the standing that comes with it means a poor box is handed straight back.

Checked at Southbank, Then Checked Again

Preston orders start on the Southbank bench, where the flowers are opened and checked the moment they arrive and anything short is returned. What stays is stripped, recut and conditioned in fresh buckets, and most of it is designed within twenty four hours. The florist on your order checks it as it takes shape and once more before it leaves for Preston.

A Vessel Under Every Stem

Preston flowers ride in our signature bag, which has a water vessel seated in its base, so they arrive standing in water and can stay in the bag on a counter or a front step. Refresh the water daily. If anything is not right, we replace it or refund it.

Preston Occasions

Birthdays, thank yous and anniversaries go to Preston every week, with new baby flowers for the streets around the market, congratulations for the businesses on High Street, get well arrangements and sympathy flowers through the year. Tell our florists the occasion and they design for it, using roses, tulips, lilies and whatever the buyers chose that morning.
