We are Lily's Florist, Australian family owned and operated since 2009.
I am Siobhan. My parents Bill and Julie lived in Taree for years, so the Central Coast was always the middle ground for family visits. I got to know the hinterland pockets like Greengrove on those drives, places you only find when you take the turnoffs instead of sticking to the highway. Andrew and I have been running this business from Kingscliff since we bought a flower shop in 2006 with a baby due and zero experience. The full story is here if you have a few minutes.
We hired Anna because she had spent fifteen years making flowers and we had not spent fifteen minutes. She trained in North Carolina, worked at a boutique florist at Salt in Kingscliff, and joined us to help build the partner network in the early days. Her take on native stem preparation is worth reading if you are sending flowers to somewhere like Greengrove.
Natives are the obvious recommendation for a bush setting. Any florist working the bench knows that. The difference between a native arrangement that lasts three weeks and one that starts drying out after four days is how the stems are prepared. Banksias, proteas, leucadendrons. The wood is dense. A clean diagonal cut barely lets water through because the grain is too tight. You need to crush the bottom few centimetres with the back of the secateurs or split the base into a cross shape. It looks rough. It is rough. But that extra surface area is what lets the stem actually pull water up into the flower.
I learned this the slow way. My first year on the bench, I was cutting native stems the same as roses and wondering why everything kept wilting by day three. The growers at the market eventually pulled me aside and showed me. Once you crack open that dense wood, the stem drinks properly. A banksia on someone's kitchen bench at Greengrove could go three or four weeks if the florist did that prep right.
In 2011, I took a call at our Pottsville office from a woman in Bendigo. Her sister had received a native arrangement for her birthday and it had dropped within four days. I asked the partner florist what cut they had used and they said a standard diagonal. That was the problem. Natives need the crush or the cross split at the base. I walked the florist through it on the phone and they started doing it from that point on. They called back about a month later and said they had not had a single native complaint since.
When you order flowers for Greengrove, we match your order to a partner florist covering the area. That florist sources fresh stock, prepares the stems, builds your arrangement by hand, and delivers it to the door. No warehouses, no postal boxes, no premade bunches shipped from interstate. A real person in a real shop.

* How it works. You order, we connect with a partner florist covering Greengrove, they deliver fresh. No post. No boxes.
Greengrove sits in the hinterland west of Gosford, surrounded by bush. The flowers that suit this area tend to be the ones that already grow wild out here. Natives, earthy tones, structural pieces that hold up in the warmth of a valley afternoon. If the occasion is difficult, like a loss or a bereavement, softer whites and creams in a calm palette work best. Browse our sympathy range or sympathy flowers for the home for those moments. If the recipient is in hospital, Gosford Hospital has ward restrictions on certain arrangements, so consider our hospital flowers range where everything is boxed and ready for a bedside table with no vase or scissors needed.
Banksias, waratahs, grevillea, gum. A native arrangement suits the Greengrove setting and lasts longer when the stems are crushed or split at the base, as described above. Many native elements dry beautifully and stay on a shelf for months after the soft flowers have faded. Our Australian natives range starts from $80.75 for bunches.
Anna, qualified florist: Skip the flower food sachets with natives. Those sachets are formulated for soft stemmed flowers like roses and lilies. They contain sugars and biocides calibrated for stems that drink fast and rot fast. Natives do the opposite. Clean water, changed weekly, is all they need. Keep them away from direct afternoon sun through a west facing window and they will outlast anything else in the house. The banksia seed heads hold their shape long after the soft petals on surrounding stems have dropped, which is why a good native arrangement still looks interesting two months later on a shelf.
When someone lives out in the hinterland, a delivery means more because it takes more to get there. Thinking of you flowers work well when you want to check in, remind someone they are on your mind, or just send something without a specific reason. A bright seasonal mix or something in yellow tones tends to land right.
Seasonal stem selection matters more than colour matching for vase life. A florist picking what peaked at market that morning will put together something that lasts ten days. A customer choosing by photo online is selecting from a catalogue shot weeks ago with stems that may not even be in season right now. The florist knows what is fresh. Trust that.
The florist will choose whatever seasonal stems are looking their best that morning, which means the colours might differ slightly from the photo and the flowers will almost certainly last longer than something premade days earlier. Browse the full birthday range or keep it simple with the Florist's Choice at $71.95 and let the florist do what they do best.
The Florist's Choice option gives the florist room to swap in whatever stem is peaking that day. If tulips came in strong at market, they go in. If the oriental lilies are at the perfect three quarter open stage, those get used instead. A fixed product locks the florist into a recipe. Florist's Choice lets them build around what is best right now, which means better value per dollar and longer vase life because nothing in the arrangement is past its peak.
Underrated occasion, seriously. A thank you arrangement arriving unexpectedly says more than most people realise. For Greengrove, something colourful in a mixed seasonal bunch is a safe bet. Add chocolates if you want to go the extra step.
Mixed bunches look better when the florist uses odd numbers of each stem type. Three gerberas, five spray roses, one statement lily. Odd groupings stop the eye because the brain cannot split them into symmetrical pairs. Even numbers read as rows. Odd numbers read as natural. A good florist does this without thinking about it. Fifteen years of arranging and it becomes muscle memory.
Most people ordering flowers do not know exactly what to pick and that is completely fine. The Florist's Choice at $71.95 gives the partner florist creative freedom to build something beautiful from whatever is freshest that day. Or browse flowers under $60 if you want to keep it simple and affordable.
The under $60 range still gets the same conditioning and stem preparation as the premium arrangements. The difference is stem count, not quality. Eight stems instead of twelve, same diagonal cut on each one, same leaf stripping below the waterline, same soak in conditioned water before they go into the arrangement. The care behind a $55 bunch and a $120 bunch is identical. You are paying for volume, not for effort.

Same day delivery: Order before 2pm on weekdays or 10am on Saturdays. The cutoffs exist because the florist needs time after your order comes in to select the right stems, do the diagonal cut, strip the leaves below the waterline, soak them in conditioned water, build the arrangement, and drive it out. Cutting corners on that process costs vase life, and nobody wants flowers that look tired after three days.
No Sunday delivery. Flemington Markets shut on Sunday. Most florists on the Central Coast source their stock from Flemington. Sunday orders would mean using Friday stems, which are already two days into their lifespan before the recipient touches them. Monday delivery means Monday market stock, which means fresh.
Delivery fee: $16.95. That covers a single delivery run to Greengrove and is subsidised. The actual cost of a one address delivery, especially into the hinterland, often runs higher. We absorb the rest.
Phone: 1300 360 469 (Monday to Friday 7am to 6pm, Saturday 7am to 12pm). You can also email [email protected] or use the live chat on our website.
Those reviews sit on Feefo, an independent review platform endorsed by Google. Only people who have actually purchased flowers from us can leave a review. We cannot edit or delete any of them, positive or negative. That is the point.
You will receive an email confirmation straight after checkout with the order details and estimated delivery window. Behind the scenes, the partner florist is already pulling stems from their cool room and starting the build. A tracking update follows once the arrangement is on its way out to Greengrove.
If something goes wrong, contact us within 24 hours. We will need photos of the front and back of the arrangement so we can see exactly what was delivered. Depending on the issue, we will organise a replacement delivery, a partial credit, or a full refund. We do not argue about it. If the flowers were not right, we fix it. You can reach us by email at [email protected], by phone at 1300 360 469, or through live chat on the website. Most issues are resolved within the same business day.
