What Happens If No One Is Home?

For local postcode deliveries

If the recipient is not available, we’ll leave the flowers in a safe location or with a neighbour, and a calling card will be left to let them know where to find their flowers. You’ll also receive an electronic delivery update with a proof of delivery image.

If you have any specific instructions, please include them in the 'Delivery Instructions' box on the basket page.

If we can’t find a suitable place to leave the flowers—for example, at an address on a high street without a garden or porch—the flowers will be returned to our shop. From there, they can be collected at no extra cost, or we can arrange re-delivery (additional delivery fees will apply).

By completing your order, you agree that our responsibility for the flowers ends once they have been delivered in accordance with the above policy.

Like any business, we aim to be profitable so that we can continue brightening your day with our blooms. However, we are deeply committed to making a positive impact. Alongside our Petals. Planet. Promise., we want to be transparent about where your money goes when you purchase flowers from Gardenia. This allows you to make an informed decision.

Here’s a breakdown of what your payment covers:

Business Costs: VAT, business rates.

Running Costs: Rent, electricity, water, technology, transport, and responsible waste disposal.

People: Our talented team of five florists is the backbone of everything we do. From preparing flowers to crafting bouquets, processing online orders, managing deliveries, organising weddings and events, and opening the shop every morning, their work is vital. Collectively, our team has over 70 years of floristry experience. Fair pay and staff wellbeing are central to our values.

Product Costs: The flowers themselves, plus packaging expenses.

We source our fresh flowers directly from Holland. In as little as 36 hours, they make their way from the fields, through the auction, and into your home. Since the flowers are purchased at auction, prices can vary day-to-day. This ensures the quality and freshness you receive are always worth the cost.

When your flowers arrive, begin by cutting approximately 1cm from the base of each stem. This step is crucial as it helps the flowers take up water more efficiently, keeping them hydrated and prolonging their freshness. After trimming the stems, place them in a clean vase filled with fresh, cool water. Make sure the vase has been thoroughly washed, as any leftover bacteria or residue can shorten the lifespan of your blooms.

To maintain their beauty, repeat this process every two days. Remove the flowers from the vase, trim another 1cm from the stems, and replace the water with fresh, clean water. This regular care routine ensures that the flowers continue to absorb the nutrients and hydration they need.

By following these steps, you can enjoy your flowers at their best for at least five days—guaranteed.

Each arrangement is made to order with seasonal stems chosen for their freshness and beauty. While we don’t always guarantee exact stems, we promise the best flowers and excellent value, in line with the product description.

We require a minimum of 3 days notice to deliver this product. If you need the product sooner than that, please get in touch.
