Stopped here to buy some flowers to bring to a dinner party. The lady was incredibly helpful in helping me decide. I am told the flowers lasted a long time as well. read more

Shane and Ben were the most supurb team to work with on our wedding florals. From the very first…read moremoment of contact, Shane was enthisiastic, supportive, and brilliantly creative; he was immediately willing to work within our budget, and offered beautiful, unique ideas and solutions to bring our vision to life. In the lead up to the day, Shane and Ben were so patient in bearing with a couple of last-minute logistical changes of mind, and they ensured everything on the day went without a hitch. Everything was of the highest quality, a stunning selection of blooms, and looked incredible- we could not have imagined it better.

For five to six dollars you can get a bunch of basic seasonal blooms (think daffodils, carnations or gladiolas), which I use to brighten up my lounge room. The bouquets aren't really to my taste - they are fairly bog-standard, featuring bright ribbons and boxes. The reason I buy from Zek's regularly is partially convenience (I walk past on my way in and out of the supermarket), but it's also because of the lady who works here. She always gives me a smile and a hello, even if it's 7am and she's in the middle of unloading buckets of flowers in the pouring rain. Her good manners and cheery disposition deserve to be supported!
The business has moved inside Lygon Court while major building works are going on…read more The lovely lady that the previous reviewer lauded has been sacked - for no reason. She has been replaced by a blonde woman who might be pleasant but I'm unlikely to find out as I won't buy flowers from there again. I don't wish to give any of my hard earned $ to the despicable owner of this business. Kind & Godfrey sell flowers just over the road...
Have you ever walked into a florist and thought... "Geez, where's my American Express?"…read more I never understood why so many CBD Florist's charge so much for flowers that cost them 1/10th of the sale price. Is it the labour involved of putting them in sequinned boxes? Anyways that enough rant. If you feel like a little tram out of the city you can find some fresh 'cheap' flowers here. The ladies who work here are really in-the-know about everything flowers orientated. I jog past here everyday and when the occasion arose for birthday flowers i stopped by and was surprised by the range and the prices. They have a lot of specials on the flowers, you can pick up two bunches of flowers starting from $10. They also deliver Australia-wide!!

Thankfully, Growers is just around the corner, easy to get to and is open from all hours of the morning (and 365 days a year too!) They have a gorgeous variety of flowers and plants available and the staff there are incredibly knowledgeable, so you'll be able to make your choice nice and easy! But the best thing about Growers are there packages and hampers, so if you've really pissed off the Misses you can sort it out quick smart (and for a reasonable price.) Packages include fruit and wine, flowers and teddy bears and even a gourmet food hamper, which can all be ordered online and delivered to your door. So boys! Stop apologising and just go to Growers, they can do the apologising for you.
The brand name of this establishment really lives up to its promise. Probably the cutest, prettiest…read moreand fashionable yet chic florist in Melbourne City. The flowers are really fresh and vibrant, and the staff are wanting to serve you like there is no tomorrow. This is a great thing. Apart from Chinese New Year stands; I decided to buy a bamboo plant for my home space at this establishment. The plant is in a beautiful glass holder that symbolises prosperity and good luck in the home, and the plant still looks fresh despite me not watering it as frequently as I should. If you are someone who likes your weekly, fortnightly or monthly flower fix, and/or if indoor plants is more of your thing - then look no further; you have just hit the jackpot when it comes to quality floristry. A place that is appreciated and deserving of its location in Melbourne. The price of $25 for a smallish bamboo plant that has stood the test of time. It is worth it, and adds immense value to anyone's living space. It is a place that gives you that extra lift if your mood isn't so great. A great pick me up.

Their floral arrangement and succulents are so eye catching, I couldn't help but buy something the second I passed by. As a bit of a black thumb, I went home with a little cactus for a pot that I had just killed some herbs in. The only problem is that the guys serving seemed to have a lot of knowledge about what looks cool, and very little about actual plants or gardening. They seemed completely flummoxed when I asked for some advice about repotting and wanted to talk plants as a total novice. So I wouldn't send you here for any kind of serious (or even amateur!) garden needs, but their stuff sure is pretty and it's a perfect stop for lovely gifts. Very different and more upmarket compared to the other flower vendors inside the market.

This small shop packs a decent floral punch on variety and staff attitude! I opted for a more native floral arrangement to be different from my usual pretty in pink style flowers. The staff were happy to chat about the indoor plant selection, interesting decoration and well floral life such in general. Certainly a great spot to get a unique floral gift.

Tucked into an arch at the rear of St Paul's cathedral, the store is about the size of a postage stamp. Very frequently however, everything is kicked out of the store and an entirely new display goes in. It's beyond exquisite. The staff are incredibly warm, helpful and talented, and most importantly can put together the most extraordinarily gorgeous bouquets on virtually any budget. If you need something super special (in my case, for my wedding) be sure to call in advance and go for a consultation with Nicholas personally. Even if you think you know exactly what you want, I guarantee you will come out with something even better than you could have possibly imagined.
Extremely disappointed by the conduct of Nicolas owner of Pollen flowers. ( a major understatement)…read moremy daughter met with Nicolas to discuss her wedding and the arrangments she wanted for herself, bridemaids, button holes and flowers to decorate her reception. After establishing her look toghether with Nicolas went about organsing all the other many tasks for her special day. Nicolas called just short of 6 weeks before her wedding to inform her he could no longer do her flowers as he had an important event to cover. He left my daughter high and dry with no flowers and only a few short weeks to find an available florist. With merely " i'm sorry" . Just dispicable behaviour and a very untrusoworthy human being. Think very carefully before deciding to book him as he appears to have very ittle concern abour leaving brides in the lerch. Maria B.

Emerald Hill is my go-to florist at the South Melbourne Market. One of the largest and the oldest…read moreof the Markets, smack bang in the centre. The prices are excellent, it's not hard to pick up a gorgeous bouquet for around the $10-$20 mark which makes it a perfect stop in for quick gifts or just to brighten up your house for the week. I was honestly never really one to buy flowers for myself because of how quickly they die, but Emerald Hill got me into a bit of a habit of doing this more often. My favourite flowers are tulips and I can pick up a bunch of unopened tulips here for $10-$12 and they will last for more than a week as they open up on my dining room table. I do like my simple pleasures, but they also sell larger bouquets and fancier flowers if you need them. If you are buying them for a gift, be sure to tell them this as you pay for them. If you just buy flowers, you'll get them wrapped in whatever tissue paper is laying around (I have had some odd ones including Lego Star Wars and what could only be described as 90's-8-year-old chic). If you let them know you're giving them as a gift, you'll get the prettier paper with bows and trimming - looks very impressive even on a $10 bouquet. That's my hot tip for a cheap but lovely looking gift. I've been a regular here for years and always been happy with my purchases.

The Knoxfield Florist is a really nice little store to walk into. It has two doorways and there is…read morealways a pleasant breeze flowing through the room. It has lots of flowers on display and the wrapping is always done well. The florists are often at work in a back room so it can be a little disconcerting to walk in and find nobody around. Generally though someone should come out within a minute or so. Apart from that, the service here is generally pretty good. The shop itself is really sweet. It is painted a light green colour and it really complements the flowers. They do same and next day delivery and are really good at keeping to your specifications. Postage is a flat $12, which I think is pretty high. As well as flowers they also stock balloons in three different sizes, bears, gourmet hampers and giftware. I tend to visit when I am on my way to a housewarming or party and I have forgotten to get someone a gift. There is something suitable here for just about any situation!

A clear example of the sort of innovation you find all over Melbourne these days. We stopped for a flat white and a long black which were beautifully crafted by the very friendly server. We were able to enjoy them in the lovely watery Melbourne sun. There was warmth in the coffee and warmth in the sun. The coffees were lovely. The very amiable server kindly gave us a sample of the home made soup he'd prepared for the lunch crowd. It was an excellent pumpkin soup with lemongrass. We liked it very much. This is a good little place which will rise above four in the ratings very soon.
Never have I wished more for smell-a-vision as I have writing this review. A Melbourne friend…read moreposted on an Instagram photo that while I was in town I couldn't leave without visiting this spice merchant. Perhaps it was my inner-Catholic guilt but I couldn't leave our day on Lygon Street and surrounds without stopping in. Thank goodness because this is any home cook and food lovers heaven. Walking in, it is a olfactory feast. Subtle scents of spice lure you from the door and once you enter it's a veritable feast for your imagination. "Oh I could cook this with that!?". All the bulk spice holds are organised into loose leaf teas, salts, herbs and more. Each spice, herb or tea comes with a short blurb on it's history and what could use it for. You can purchase small bags by the gram or in jars (stored above the bulk holds). I was honestly surprised by the value. Being a specialty store I had primed myself for prices far more than the average $7.95 for most of the spices within the jars. The challenge was limiting myself for what I would take back to Brisbane with me. There is a customer scale to check and trust me (there's a 20g minimum when buying most in the smaller paper packets, which if you're into packaging might be the thing to send you over the edge) you'll be surprised at how much you've scooped in to a bag and how fast that .70-$1.90 per gram adds up. And the decadent experience doesn't stop once you're at the counter. Your purchase is simply and sophisticatedly packaged in a sturdy brown paper bag, adorned with their branded sticker and gently handed to you for safe travels home. Dangerous to discover there's online ordering...

The clerk helped him pick out a few Australian native spice mixes and we got several little baggies of them ranging from 20g to 40g. The bags even have a description of the spices and how to use them. I'm sure the recipients of these gifts will appreciate them. This is a cool place to hang out and discover some spices and funky gifts. It is dangerous though; it's very easy to spend a lot of money very quickly.

Every section of the store is covered with blooms, and at the moment there are some exquisite seasonal flowers including delphiniums (white, purple and blue), bluebells, freesias and hyacinths. The result of so many flowers in the space is a beautiful scent that greets you any day of the year. Vasette also have Australian and tropical blooms; it's a relief to see a successful flower smith who isn't limited by the traditional English garden varieties. Scarlet waratahs, delicate orchids and enormous crab claws jut out amongst the buckets, and you need not be worried about the quality. All the flowers are fresh, and in all my years of buying blooms I have never been disappointed. Expect great service and great advice. The staff are qualified and creatively passionate about working with their organic medium. They can put together a beautiful bouquet, or help with planning major events. Just stopping by and taking the time to smell the roses, or freesias, or snap dragons, or anything in this beautiful space, is a reward in itself.

But now and then when the house is looking a bit sad I venture inside to pick up something pretty. Our front are the cheap and cheerful options and plants, but it's inside that the real magic (and the good smelling stuff) is. I love that the window display and the arrangements within the store changes regularly, with like-colours grouped together on each table. From massive arrangements, to posies and single stems of orchids, you can get just about everything here.

Everyone can appreciate beautiful plants and flowers, and everyone likes having a hot chocolate. While Kew Nursery may not have as broad a range of plants as other gardening centres like Bulleen Art and Garden, it does have really great vegetable section and some beautiful native shrubs and small trees. The staff are all really helpful but sometimes it can be hard to pin one down when its busy, that's the only problem I've had. I really like coming here because not only do I get to exhaust myself walking around and discovering some new species I previously hadn't seen, but I then get to head off into the café and enjoy a coffee and serve of eggs benedict ($13).
