Flower Delivery Tolmans Hill: Same Day

A Cold August Morning and a Tesla

This past August we flew to Hobart. Left Kingscliff on a winters day that was sitting at a comfortable 22 degrees, as it does up here, and stepped off the plane to 2 degrees with a 20kmh wind cutting right through us. The shock of it. We had packed jackets but clearly not the right ones. 

We hired a Tesla to see what all the fuss was about (verdict still out on that one, the lack of buttons was unsettling) and the next day drove up to Tolmans Hill to have a look around. We had heard about the views and wanted to see for ourselves.

The thing about Tolmans Hill is the elevation. You wind your way up from South Hobart and suddenly you are looking back down toward the Derwent River with kunanyi/Mount Wellington looming behind you. It felt removed from the city even though you are only about 10 minutes from the CBD. Quiet streets, established homes, the kind of suburb where families have been for generations. We grabbed a coffee at a little place nearby and just took it in. Cold as it was, and it was properly cold, there was something really lovely about it.

Sending Flowers to Tolmans Hill

When you order flowers to Tolmans Hill through Lily's Florist your order goes to one of our partner florists in the greater Hobart area. These are real florists with real shops, not a warehouse, not a production line, not flowers stuffed in a box and sent overnight via Australia Post. Your flowers are made fresh that day by someone who knows what they are doing.

The way it works is pretty simple. Your order comes through to us, we route it to the closest partner florist based on the postcode and what they have in stock. If one florist is out of red roses for the day, it goes to the next closest who has them. Same day delivery is available if you order before 2PM on weekdays. The flowers arrive fresh, made by a local, delivered by someone who knows the streets.

How Hobart Became Part of Our Network

Hobart was one of our foundation delivery locations, right back in 2008 and 2009 when we were still figuring all this out. Back then we had a florist and gift shop in Kingscliff NSW and kept getting calls for flowers to random places all over Australia, including Hobart, thanks to a Yellow Pages ad the previous owner had taken out (yeah the book, showing our age here). After turning away literally thousands of calls we thought, hang on, what if we found florists in these areas and asked them to help us.

One of our first calls was to a florist in Hobart. We told her who we were, what we were trying to do, and asked if she would be interested in taking our flower orders. No fees, no catches, just a small commission covered by adding a few extra stems. She said yes. That partnership became the foundation of everything we do now.

Seventeen years later we work with over 800 partner florists across Australia. Hobart is still one of our busiest areas. We are still a Mum and Dad business, still making decisions at the dinner table or on the drive to netball, still Australian owned and operated with our call centre in Armidale NSW. No boardrooms, no marketing team, no offshore call centres. Just us.

You Do Not Have to Take Our Word for It

Flowers are subjective. What one person sees as stunning another might see as a bit much. Putting ourselves out there with an independent review platform was a risk but we felt it was worth it.

We partnered with Feefo back in 2013. They only collect reviews from verified customers, people who have actually placed an order. We cannot delete bad reviews, we cannot get our mates to write nice things about us, it is completely independent and Google endorsed. Since then we have collected over 22,000 reviews and in both 2024 and 2025 we received a Feefo Trusted Service Award for outstanding customer service. To qualify you need at least 50 reviews with a 4 star average in a 12 month period. We received over 3,000 in that time, more than 60 times the minimum.

Real feedback helps us improve. The good reviews remind us why we do this. The ordinary ones teach us where we need to lift.
