Thornbury flower delivery by Kate Hill Flowers

Thornbury Florist

Thornbury sits between Northcote and Preston, both of which we already deliver to every morning, so it is a natural stop on our northern run. Our florists cover the homes off High Street, the streets around Penders Park and the Croxton end six days a week, with same day delivery before 1pm.

Delivering Flowers to Thornbury

High Street runs the length of Thornbury and carries most of the commercial addresses, the bars and live music venues, the grocers and the offices above them. Deliveries to those need a business name, because the street numbers run into the hundreds and the frontages are narrow.

The residential streets on either side are a mix of Californian bungalows and post war brick homes, on Normanby Avenue, Mansfield Street and Leinster Grove among others, with driveways and front paths that make a doorstep delivery simple. Thornbury station and Croxton sit at either end of the strip and frame the whole suburb neatly.

What Sits Behind Thornbury Flowers

A Long Standing With Growers

Because our buyers have been at the Melbourne market since 2007, growers set aside their better lines for them before general trading starts. A Thornbury arrangement can carry stems cut the night before as a result, and our buyers are in a position to turn down a box without needing to explain themselves.

Sorted, Cut and Conditioned

Each box is opened on the bench at Southbank and worked through stem by stem, and anything that will not last is pulled out then. What passes is stripped, cut and stood in clean water, usually designed within a day, and checked once more by your florist before it is loaded for Thornbury.

Water Built Into the Delivery

Thornbury deliveries go out in our signature bag, which has a vessel of water seated in the base. The stems keep drinking on the drive north, so flowers can be left on a step or at a shop counter without a vase being found first. Change the water every day. If something is wrong, we replace it or refund it.

The Reasons Thornbury Orders

Thornbury orders spread fairly evenly across birthdays, anniversaries, new baby flowers and thank you arrangements, with sympathy work steady through the year and a run of opening night flowers for the venues along High Street. Our florists design to what the occasion asks for, using roses, lilies, disbuds, tulips, dahlias and whatever the buyers found worth carrying back that morning.

Thornbury and the Streets Beyond

Thornbury Delivery, Common Questions

Do you offer same day delivery in Thornbury?

Yes, on orders placed before 1pm. Anything later is sent on the next delivery day. Thornbury is covered Monday to Saturday.

What is the Thornbury delivery charge?

It is calculated at checkout from the address you enter, so the amount is clear before payment.

Can you deliver to a venue on High Street after hours?

We deliver during the day rather than at night, so for an opening or a show we suggest sending them to the venue in the morning. Include the business name and a contact number at checkout.

Will you leave flowers at the front door in Thornbury?

Yes, where you have told us that is fine. Our florist chooses a shaded spot, and the bag carries its own water so the stems are not left dry.

What flowers will be in the arrangement?

The best of that morning at the Melbourne market. Depending on the season that is tulips, ranunculus, peonies, dahlias, roses, lilies or natives, with plants, wine and gifts as alternatives.
