Mrs Bottomley's Flowers is an independently owned florist at The Tannery, 3 Garlands Road, in Woolston, Christchurch. It is named after the owner's grandmother, Millicent Bottomley, who loved seasonal blooms and fruit from the garden. The florist works with fresh, New Zealand grown seasonal flowers and foliage, and it makes arrangements for celebrations, weddings and civil unions, home funerals, functions and events, and corporate clients. The shop sells hand-tied bouquets, posies, lilies, orchid plants and house plants. Prices as at 2026 run from $35 for a seasonal en masse arrangement to $240 for the sumptuous and romantic bouquets. The florist also offers same-day delivery to most Christchurch addresses and greater Canterbury, with 24 hours' notice for orders.
For weddings and events, the florist lists local vendors such as photographers, venues and cake makers, and it says it can help match a couple to suitable suppliers. Its quirky, whimsical style is one of the things it is known for, and the site says the shop aims to show that flowers do not need to be limited to carnations and gerberas. For someone in Woolston or across Christchurch who wants a florist with an artistic, seasonal style for a wedding, a funeral or a gift, this is a clear pick.
