The Currajong Connection

Back in 2008, sitting in our Kingscliff flower shop, from time to time we would get these calls for flowers to Townsville and surrounds. Currajong would pop up regularly, alongside Castle Hill, Belgian Gardens, and North Ward. At first, we'd apologetically turn them away, but those calls kept coming. All the call were from people in our area, wanting to send flowers to loved ones in FNQ. There was something about North Queensland that reminded me of our own subtropical corner of Northern NSW. Both places had that relaxed, tropical feel where people still took time to celebrate life's moments with flowers.

Our Accidental Entry into North Queensland Flowers

Townsville was genuinely one of those places that puzzled us at first. Why were so many people from our tiny coastal town wanting to send flowers there? Turns out, lots of locals had family up north, kids at James Cook Uni, or relatives at Townsville Hospital. After turning away what felt like the hundredth Townsville request, we had our moment. What if we found a florist up there who understood Currajong's leafy streets and those beautiful old Queenslanders with their wide verandas?

We reached out to a few Townsville florists, actually it was Peg from Silver Wattle Florist and you can find out more about how that played out here, explained our weird situation of getting all these flower requests we couldn't fill, and asked if they'd partner with us. The response was immediate and enthusiastic. They knew Currajong well, understood which flowers held up best in the North Queensland heat, and were excited to be part of something different. That partnership, formed over a nervous phone call in 2008, still delivers flowers to Currajong today.

Why Currajong Loves Our Florist's Choice Arrangement

Our Florist's Choice Arrangement at $81.75 has become a Currajong favourite, and I can see why. It lets our local florist partners use their expertise and the freshest flowers available that day. Carol from one of our reviews called the arrangement she received "stunning" and said both she and the recipient were thrilled. The boxed arrangement comes with floral food and needs no vase, making it perfect for Townsville Hospital visits or surprising someone at their home office. You can size it up too, from Standard right through to Extra Large if you really want to make a statement.

The Trust Factor

We recently received our Feefo Trusted Service Award, based on over 3,100 independent customer reviews and over 22,000 since 2013. Simone mentioned in her review how good it felt knowing flowers would be delivered interstate "with care and quickly." That matters when you're sending flowers from wherever you are to Currajong. We're still that same family business, no offshore call centres, no corporate nonsense. Just real people who understand that when you order flowers before 2PM, you probably need them delivered today.
