A four-star review, kept short
"Everything was very good. Would recommend."
Verified customer, Feefo
A short review usually means nothing went wrong, and in this trade that is most of the job. The stems stood up when the paper came off, the card was spelled the way it was written, and the bunch reached the right door. Nobody writes a paragraph about that. They write a few words and go looking for a vase.
In a flat or a terrace, the vase is whatever is in the cupboard
In a Brunswick flat or a terrace share house, the vase is whatever is in the cupboard: a pasta jar, a water jug, a pint glass off the shelf. The container decides more than people think. Too wide and the stems splay out and flop over the rim by day two. Too narrow and they crush together and fight for the water. The right one holds the bunch about a third of the way up and leaves a little room.
Before anything goes in, strip every leaf that would sit under the water. Every single one. Submerged leaves rot, the rot feeds bacteria, and the bacteria block the stem, so a good bunch looks tired after three days for no reason anyone can see. I learned that on my own bench, from a bucket I forgot to strip on a Friday.
Tap the one you are sending to. Each panel says what goes in the notes.
A terrace with no porch leaves a bunch on a step by the footpath. Add a mobile, and say if there is a side gate or a laneway door.
The building name, the unit, the name on the intercom and a mobile, so the florist is not left standing at the glass door.
On Dawson Street, around a thousand students. The teacher's full name and subject, for the front office.
For a new mum at the Royal Women's Hospital on Flemington Road, Parkville: her full name and the ward, once she has one.

About a third of Brunswick homes are flats and almost as many are terraces, so the unit number and a mobile do more work here than the street name.
Brunswick is a young suburb, median age 34 at the 2021 census, with a big secondary college on Dawson Street and the Royal Women's Hospital just to the south. Thank-you flowers and new babies sit alongside the birthdays here.
Your kid has finished Year 12 at Brunswick Secondary College, and one teacher carried them through it. A bunch at the front office says what a card can't.
Put the teacher's full name and subject in the notes; in our experience the office signs for it and takes it through to the staffroom. Send it before the last day, because once the school shuts for summer the office shuts too. Our graduation flowers work for the student as well.
Anna's pick: something already standing in water, because a staffroom sink is no place to be cutting stems at the end of a school day.
Your friend has had the baby at the Royal Women's Hospital on Flemington Road, and you are not on the visitor list yet. Flowers can go ahead of you.
Her full name and the ward go in the notes, once she is on a ward and out of birthing; in our experience reception sends them up when she has a bed. If she is already home, send to the house. Our new baby flowers and pink flowers both suit, with “Welcome to the world. Can't wait for a cuddle.”
Some maternity wards turn lilies away for the pollen. Lisianthus gives the same soft look with almost no scent and nothing to shed.
Someone has died, and the farewell is at a function room, a park or the family's backyard. More than six in ten Brunswick residents gave no religion at the 2021 census, so that is common here.
Send to the house the morning of, with the family name in the notes, so nothing waits at a venue nobody has opened yet. For a Requiem at St Ambrose's on Sydney Road, give the service time instead. Our sympathy flowers for the home fit, with “Remembering him the way he'd want. Love from all of us.”
Colour is fine at a farewell like this. If he loved his garden, natives or bright mixed stems say more about him than a formal white sheaf.
A new job, a rough week, a housemate who covered for you. No heading needed.
Anna's pick: our yellow flowers. Yellow reads as cheerful without needing an explanation, and it fades gently over the week instead of all at once.

Arrangements, No Vase NeededBefore 2pm on weekdays, so the florist can build it and get through the Sydney Road traffic that afternoon.
Before 10am on Saturdays; the Saturday run is shorter.
No Sunday delivery, except Mother's Day.
A flat: building, unit, intercom name and a mobile. A terrace: a mobile and whether there is a side gate. Brunswick Secondary College: the teacher and subject. The Royal Women's: the ward and her full name.
The front office at the college, ward reception at the Women's, and at a flat or terrace whoever answers. Before 2pm on a weekday, it goes out that afternoon.
The order goes to a florist in or close to Brunswick that day, built from that morning's stock. If a stem in the photo is not in, the florist keeps to the colour and the size.
If something is wrong, send a photo the same day and we put it right. Our team is on 1300 360 469, 7am to 6pm weekdays and from 10am Saturdays, and changes go to [email protected].
New-baby orders were the happiest calls I took between 2006 and 2011, and the ones people fretted over most afterwards (did she get them, does she like them, why hasn't she said anything). She has a three-day-old. She is not writing thank-you texts. If you want to know they arrived, ring us and we will check. Now and then a ward moves her before the flowers catch up, so a mobile in the notes helps.
A teacher, a new mum, a mate off Sydney Road: flowers are a small thing to send, and they are often the thing that gets remembered.
