Maggie's Backyard Bouquets is a florist on Astrid Lane in Wellsford, in the Rodney district north of Auckland. It has a 5.0 rating on Google and a website.
A good florist chooses fresh, seasonal stems, builds arrangements with care and helps you choose something that suits the person and the occasion. A backyard or home-based grower-florist often works with flowers from their own garden or local growers, so the stems are seasonal and arrangements feel personal and unfussy. When you order, say who the flowers are for, your budget, the date and whether they are for collection or delivery, and ask what is in season. Regulars know that ordering ahead is essential for a small business, especially for Mother's Day, Valentine's Day and weddings, that a little cut off the stems and fresh water every couple of days lengthens a bouquet's life and that seasonal flowers vary, so flexibility on colour and flower type gives the best result. The website is a good place to see examples, ordering details and any pick-up arrangements.
