Flower Delivery Fern Tree: Same Day

Online Flowers Daily to Fern Tree TAS

We drove through Fern Tree on the way up Mount Wellington. Day two of the Hobart trip, maybe day three. The Tesla's range was dropping as we climbed and I was watching that indicator like a hawk. Could have been the gradient. Could have been the cold. Could have been both. By the time we passed through Fern Tree the trees had changed completely. Lush. Green. Tree ferns everywhere, which makes sense given the name. Like driving into a different climate zone, which I suppose we were.

No shops, no cafes, just the tavern and a lot of bush and some of the most expensive views in Hobart if you're lucky enough to live there. We stopped at the tavern on the way back down, I had the Zucchini, Feta & Herb Fritters which were totally divin!. Open fires, leather couches, exactly what you need after standing on a mountain summit in what felt like minus ten with the wind chill. Ivy couldn't find a matcha. She was devastated. Bellerive's Cocomo+Co was still winning by default.

We send flowers to Fern Tree. Not often, given 760 people, but we do.

Delivering to Small Populations

Here's the thing about flower delivery to places like Fern Tree. Most online florists won't bother. The volume doesn't justify the effort. They'll either decline the postcode entirely or post from Melbourne and hope for the best.

We have partner florists in Hobart. Fern Tree's only 9km from the CBD. Same day delivery is absolutely possible, it just requires a florist willing to drive up the mountain a bit. Ours do.

One of our customers recently said "Local traders are the best. Efficient and successful." That's the model. Local florists who know the area, know the roads, know that Fern Tree is up the hill and left at the Huon Road junction. Not a warehouse worker in Sydney looking at a map.

The Cold and the Distance

I keep coming back to the cold from that trip. Two degrees when we arrived in Hobart. Colder up the mountain. We're from Northern NSW where two degrees happens maybe once a year if that, and even then only at 4AM. Standing on Mount Wellington's summit with the wind howling, Asha asking why we couldn't have gone to Queensland instead, Ivy mourning the lack of matcha options at altitude, Andrew pretending the Tesla's range was fine when it clearly wasn't. Family holidays.

The point is, Fern Tree feels remote even though it's technically suburban Hobart. The tree ferns close in, the mountain looms, the air's different. Sending flowers there means something. It says you thought about someone living in a place most people only drive through on the way to the summit.

What Actually Happens When You Order

Your order comes to us. We route it to one of our partner florists in Hobart based on postcode and what's in stock. They make your flowers that morning, fresh, using whatever's best that day. Then they deliver. Same day if you order by 2PM weekdays, 10AM Saturday.

A customer from Ireland said recently: "Easy to navigate. I had no difficulties from start to finish. My order was delivered on time and was of excellent quality."

Another one, first time ordering online: "Online ordering was very clear and easy to understand, delivery arrived on the correct day and delivery person was pleasant. I have never ordered online, did not know what to expect."

That's what we're going for. Clear, simple, delivered, done.

We Actually Owned a Florist

My name's Siobhan. Andrew and I bought a florist and gift shop in Kingscliff, Northern NSW in 2006. Knew nothing about flowers. Behind the counter with a newborn, doing deliveries ourselves, learning as we went.

The previous owner had paid for a Yellow Pages ad. The book. Phone rang constantly. People wanting flowers sent to places we couldn't reach. Hobart, Cairns, Townsville. We kept saying sorry. One quiet afternoon, maybe $20 in the till, we thought, what if we stopped saying sorry and started saying yes?

* Before going fully online in late 2009 we owned this flower shop in Kingscliff, lime green walls and all.

Drove to Murwillumbah with the baby, asked a florist if she'd partner with us. No membership fees, just add a few extra flowers to cover our commission. She said yes. That was 2008. Today we have over 800 partner florists including Tasmania.

We're still Mum and Dad. Asha's 18 and finishing Year 12. Ivy's 14 and still keeping a mental ranking of every matcha in Tasmania. Business decisions happen at the dinner table or in the car on the way to netball. No boardrooms, no marketing department, no offshore call centre.

When Fern Tree Needs Flowers

Someone living on the mountain

Fern Tree's full of people who chose to live surrounded by tree ferns and bush and quiet. Birthday, anniversary, thinking of you. Flowers arriving at a Fern Tree address says you know where they live and you made the effort anyway.

A walker who needs cheering up

Fern Tree's the gateway to Wellington Park. Dozens of walking tracks. Someone training for something, recovering from something, working through something. Flowers when they get home.

Just because

760 people. Small community. Everyone probably knows everyone. Flowers arriving makes a statement in a place like that.

How Delivery Works

Same day Monday to Saturday. Order by 2PM weekdays, 10AM Saturday. Business addresses by 5PM, residential by 7PM. Can't guarantee exact times but the florists know the area.

Nobody home? We'll leave flowers in a safe spot, out of direct sun and view from the road. Can't do that? We'll call the recipient.

Delivery fee is $16.95. We subsidise most deliveries beyond that.
