Viewbank flower delivery by Kate Hill Flowers

Viewbank Florist

Viewbank sits on the hills above the Yarra and Plenty rivers, and our Southbank studio sends arrangements there six days a week. Order before 1pm, Monday to Saturday, and it leaves Southbank the same day for the homes off Banyule Road, the streets off Martins Lane and the slopes above Banyule Flats.

Viewbank Streets, Slopes and Courts

Most of Viewbank went up in the 1960s, so the typical address is a family house with a good backyard, often above or below the street because of the hills. Winston Hills and Casey Crescent are newer, from the 1990s and 2000s. If there are steps, a side path or an easier door than the front, put it in the notes.

Lower Plenty Road runs along the northern side, Banyule Road cuts through the middle, and the Plenty River marks the eastern boundary before meeting the Yarra. The Martins Lane shops beside Viewbank Primary School cover groceries, a pharmacy and a few places to eat. Banyule Flats and the Main Yarra Trail fill the south.

Care Taken Before Anything Reaches Viewbank

Following the Seasons at Market

The seasons decide a lot of what we buy, and we have bought at the Melbourne market since 2007. Spring brings peonies and ranunculus, summer the roses and hydrangeas, winter the natives and hellebores. Growers we have known for years tell us what is coming good, so a Viewbank arrangement is made from stems at their peak.

One Florist, Every Stem

Every stem bound for Viewbank is checked once it reaches our Southbank studio. The florist who will design your order goes through each bunch, pulling anything with a bruised head, a soft stem or a tired leaf, and the rest are cut fresh and stood in clean water. Nothing is wrapped until it has been looked at from every side.

Water for a Sloping Block

Viewbank's hills mean flowers might wait on a porch or a step before anyone comes to the door. Our signature bag has a water vessel in its base, so they keep drinking until the door opens. Change the water daily once they are inside, and if they are not up to scratch, tell us within 10 days to have them replaced or refunded.

What Viewbank Families Celebrate

Viewbank Primary and Viewbank College both serve the suburb, so there are end of year thank yous and graduations to mark alongside birthdays and anniversaries. Houses here are tightly held, which means welcome flowers for newcomers and sympathy arrangements when a long time neighbour is lost. Let our florists know who the flowers are for, and the design will start from that person.

Viewbank, Where the Plenty Meets the Yarra

Viewbank's neighbours each have their own page, including Rosanna next door, Heidelberg and its hospitals, across the Plenty to Lower Plenty, Templestowe over the Yarra and Bulleen, across the river. To check anywhere else, use the suburbs we reach.

Viewbank Delivery Details

Can I get flowers to Viewbank on the same day?

Yes. Order before 1pm on any delivery day, Monday to Saturday, and the Viewbank order goes out that day. There are no Sunday or public holiday deliveries, and orders after 1pm can be set for the next delivery day at checkout.

What will delivery to Viewbank cost?

Delivery to Viewbank is priced by suburb, like everywhere we go. Try typing Viewbank into the delivery suburb box on a product page, and the price shows up front, so you know it before you choose.

Can flowers be delivered to a teacher at Viewbank College or Viewbank Primary?

Yes. Address them to the school's front office with the teacher's full name, and note if they should arrive before the school day ends. It is worth checking with Viewbank College or the primary school first, in case either has its own approach to deliveries.

What if nobody is home in Viewbank?

Many homes here have a shaded porch, and if it is safe the flowers stay there or go next door. If the house has nowhere like that, we ring you first. Should we not get hold of you, they return to our Southbank store and we try again about redelivery or collection.

What time will flowers arrive in Viewbank?

Orders are delivered within a 9am to 5pm window. We cannot promise a particular time on those hilly streets, but if the timing matters, add a note at checkout and we will do our best.
