Celebrating Our First Locally Grown Blooms
This week marks a very special moment in our flower journey, the very first delivery of locally grown blooms has arrived in store! We’re thrilled to be partnering with Rachel from Harvest Bloom Flowers in Hamilton, who has supplied us with the most stunning, long-stemmed pink tulips.
These tulips are everything we hoped for, tall, elegant, and bursting with fresh spring beauty. There’s something extra special about flowers that have been grown close to home; they carry a story, a connection, and a vibrancy that you can truly see and feel.

Why Local Flowers Matter
Choosing local flowers is more than just a purchase, it’s a choice that supports New Zealand’s floral industry. Locally grown flowers often have a smaller carbon footprint since they don’t travel thousands of miles to reach us. They’re also fresher, meaning they last longer once you take them home. And perhaps most importantly, they celebrate the talent and dedication of growers like Rachel, who pour their hearts into every stem.

Our pink tulips from Harvest Bloom Flowers are available in-store now, but be quick, they’re already proving to be popular! Whether you’re looking for a bunch to brighten your home, a thoughtful gift, or just a little treat for yourself, these tulips are the perfect way to bring spring indoors.
