With so much media attention on the big supermarkets for price gouging there's never been a better time to convince you to buy your flowers from your local florist and not these larger supermarkets.
Flowers have been no exception to the increased cost of farming around our country and we have certainly seen that with our flower prices but there is nothing more disheartening than comments from consumers who think we mark these up too high, but when we see flowers at the larger supermarkets (usually imported) for far less than the cost price we can purchase them from our farms why wouldn't they? We don't negotiate the prices with our farmers! The price is the price and we can either support them by buying and reselling their product or not.
In true transparency obviously we put a retail mark up on the flowers after we purchase them from the farm but when was the last time you saw a florist driving around in a lux car living a life of pure luxury? Where does the marked up money go? Well how about rent, tax, electricity, wages, superannuation, insurance, petrol and much, much more. We work alot more hourd each week than your standard 9-5 job and there still aren't enough hours in the day to get everything done. We work hard to provide a product we have paid a fair price to the farmer for and are passionate about doing it and isn't that how it should be?
So next time your after a gift why not order a Canberra delivery of flowers from your local florist and not the larger supermarkets.

]]>Ordering online for red roses or a hamper for Valentine's Day is an easy and convienient way to get your shopping done to express your love to someone no matter how busy life may be.

So get in quick, once we sell out or reach capacity that's it!

When you buy from us, a local Canberra based florist shop you're not just supporting us and our ability to employ floral designers, couriers for Canberra deliveries or stock other products from small businesses around Canberra and Australia on our shelves, you are purchasing a product that we have sourced direct from the farm. The majority of our flowers are from Australian farms. And by supporting local farmers, our flowers are fresher as they are whats in season right now in Australia. By purchasing a beautiful bunch from us helps to provide a personal connection with our farmers. We don't just order our flowers on a checklist through one wholesaler we go direct to the source. We know our farmers names, their partners names, their story. We have been ordering sourcing our flowers from some of our farms for more than 20 years now and many of our farmers are 3rd or 4th generational flower farmers. It's in their blood.
Yes, sometimes during peak flower purchasing times around the world like Valentine's day or Mother's day there are always news stories about how there are more imported flowers in Australia but what these stories fail to mention is that it can be a hard time for farms to keep up with the huge demand, especially with roses. But during these peak times we are still sourcing these higher demand flowers through our same farmers and their farms are still generating income from this product so you are still supporting them. Your are allowing them to employ staff and cover some of the extreme costs that now come with farming in Australia. This is much like when you purchase something handmade, sometimes from some small businesses these ingredients may not all be Australian made but the end result is a product beautifully and thoughtfully designed and created by an Australian artisan that has put hours of care and love into this product just for you.
This year, 2024 shop small, support local small businesses, suppoort local farmers, put more support into your region, skip the large department stores and supermarkets and help create a more personal connection to our community.
It's easier than ever to shop and support local business both online and in store.
