Lisas Florist & Gift Shop is a florist at 12b Bridge Street in Mataura, in the Gore district of Southland. It has a Facebook page.
A good florist chooses fresh, seasonal stems, builds arrangements with care and helps you choose something that suits the person and the occasion. A florist that is also a gift shop can cover flowers, cards and small gifts in one stop, which is handy for birthdays, anniversaries and sympathy. When you order, say who the flowers are for, your budget and whether they are going to a home, a hospital or an event, and ask what is freshest that day. Regulars know that ordering a day ahead avoids disappointment, that Mother's Day and Valentine's Day book out early and that a little cut off the stems and fresh water every couple of days lengthens a bouquet's life. In a small town, a florist often delivers around the district, so ask about delivery areas and times. The Facebook page is a good place to see recent work.
