Flowers that change the world,
starting in our own backyard
Making a difference
Every day we send out bouquets that bring happiness to recipient and sender alike. But by partnering with community charities, many of which are based here in Melbourne, we're able to spread the happiness even further. Flowers Across Melbourne is joining a growing list of socially responsible companies that not only create great products, but products that benefit the community at large. By purchasing our monthly charity bouquet you're helping us give back to the community.
Each month we pair a charity with one of our popular and beautiful arrangements. At the end of the month we tally up the number of charity arrangements sold, and pass on a portion of the total to that months charity.
Below are the past and current charities we've been working with.
