A simple floral sheaf is a traditional way of giving flowers at funeral services, particularly for grave-side tributes.
In the past colours were usually pale and subdued, but these days bright flowers are also often selected, as a celebration of the person’s life. It’s really up to your own personal preference.
For other ideas on what to send see our shop page for sympathy.
Also, if you’re stuck on what to say in a sympathy message, we have some writing prompts here.
So, a while ago we rescued this broken and beaten up little fiddle-leaf fig from the back of a nursery, but just look at him now:
The secret with fiddle-leaf figs, is to water very well, but then allow them to dry out a little between waterings.
Have you seen our instagram? It’s awesome! Just kidding. Really though it is pretty nice. We post there more often than here, and it’s a good place to see what we are doing from day to day.
Why not connect with us there? If you are another local business we love to see what you are doing as well.
We have been experimenting with different glassware for interesting terrariums. Here is an example of a tillandsia plant in a pill-shaped capsule-ish glass.
Air plants and other tillandsias are getting harder and harder to come by. We still manage to get a few in from time to time, as well as other interesting plants. If you have any suggestions for other curious plants, do let us know.
To see what we have in stock, please phone us or pop in.
Some of our products are also listed in the online store, (but not everything).
We deliver on the Gold Coast only. The suburbs we deliver to are listed here.
Sometimes you want something just a little more special. A vase arrangement of flowers instead of a plain bouquet can add a little more wow.

Recently we got in these gorgeous large-leaf peace lily or spathiphyllum plants.
They are great indoors or in the shade outside. Water well once a week. You can tell if they need more water as the leaves will start to droop.
Our plants are available for delivery to most areas of the Gold Coast, or pick up in store.

Adam’s Garden Florist has offered flower delivery across the Gold Coast since 1975. How’s that for awesome?

We are centrally located in Parkwood, adjacent to the suburbs of Southport, Arundel, Labrador and Molendinar. This is also near the Gold Coast University Hospital, Gold Coast Private Hospital and Griffiith University.
If you have received a bunch of flowers, giving them the proper care can ensure they last longer.
– Re-cut 2-3cm of the bottom of the stem when you receive the flowers
– Put straight into water in a clean vase
– Change the water every 2 days at least. – You may want to re-cut the stems at this time as well to encourage them to drink, as the cells at the original cut will be loosing their efficiency by now.
– If you received floral preservative or ‘flower food’ with your flowers, be sure to add this
– Keep away from draughts and direct sun.
