Grahamstown Flower Merchant is a florist in the heart of Thames, at 103 Pahau Street, in a shop made from repurposed shipping containers. It opened in 2025. The florist makes fresh bouquets and arrangements, and customers can pick a colour palette, choose a size and add a premium vase, gift wrap or a card message. Orders are placed online, and custom arrangements or special requests go by phone or email. Delivery covers the Coromandel and the Hauraki Plains, and customers can also visit the store. Opening hours are Tuesday to Thursday 9am to 4pm, Friday 9am to 5pm and Saturday 9am to 1pm.
Because the flowers are handmade and perishable, the site notes that colour and size may vary a little from the photos. Payment is taken before preparation, and changes or cancellations must be asked for before preparation starts. For someone in Thames or the Coromandel who wants a florist with a shop front in town and a delivery service to nearby towns, the shop is a good local option.
