Located in the heart of the market, you'll find the prices to be considerably lower than bigger florists in the centre of town.

Due to their shared name, I've always assumed this shop was the sister store of the large Gunns florist on Sydney St. However, they seem to have separate websites and admittedly the shop facades are pretty different. This Gunns is much smaller than the North Lanes one and has a much more conservative exterior (no painted flowers winding up the building!). So, I think weirdly enough, they are in fact different companies...but why the same name...it's a mystery. If anyone knows, do tell! Regardless, the flowers at little Gunns are just as beautiful. There is nothing boring bout their blooms...the colours are vibrant, the shapes unusual and exotic and the scents divine. As you may have gathered, most of the flowers are not native to these shores- so if you're sick of boring old carnations and roses, you will surely be able to get an original, personalised bouquet at Gunns. Like most good florists, you will pay a pretty penny, but I can promise you will get your money's worth. As well as bouquets they do beautiful arrangements for weddings and funerals.
