Fantastic experience: Vibrantly spectacular, delivered on time to ny lovely Mum. Thank you ❤️ Tracey has created a beautiful little oasis in Taradale. Her curated choice of gifts, cards, indoor plants and pots combined with exquisite floral bouquets and dried flowers makes it my first choice when I want a special gift box or flowers to make someone's day even better. She has provided beautiful arrangement for work events along with spectacular dried flower displays. I highly recommend her for her, work, timely delivery and she always is always generous in all she does.
Thank you so much for the great review Fiona, hope your Mum enjoyed her birthday, it was nice to be able to play our part in it too!

Thanks so much Louise for your really lovely review! Glad to hear you loved your bespoke arrangement , we loved making it up for you! Look forward to helping you next time.
Fantastic experience: Tracey really went above and beyond to ensure my flowers were delivered on time for Mother’s Day. My daughter organised a beautiful mixed bunch of beautiful flowers at the last minute, and I was so grateful to receive them. I know how busy florists are on such a special day, so having my gift personally delivered by the owner made it even more special. Thank you, Tracey and the Flower Barrow Florist, for making my day!
Thank you so very much for your review Bronwyn, it's lovely to hear you were happy with your Mother's Day flowers and it's great that your daughter got in touch with us so we could get the flowers to you in time :-)
Negative experience: I received a huge bouquet from my uk family for Mothers Day. Whoever delivered didn’t bother to knock, by chance we found it in the drive just after dark!! The quality of the blooms was very poor. A beautiful lily with many blooms only opened one of them, the rest just drooped or shrivelled. The chrysanthemums were falling apart on day of arrival. The pink roses never opened, just dropped. The alstromeiras are hanging on. The bouquet was over 50% greenery, a vine, ivy, magnolia branches etc etc. I imagine from the size of it it was very expensive but what a waste of my sons hard earned income.
Hi Kathy, thank you for your feedback and we're very sorry to hear you were disappointed with your Mother's Day flowers. We understand how upsetting it would have been to discover your bouquet left unattended, especially on such a special occasion. On the day of delivery I received a call from the courier to let us know that your flowers were left at your gate as after he had knocked and called out there was no reply from the house, nor could he open the gate. The courier left your flowers in a visible area where he was hoping they could be clearly seen as he had no alterenative. Unfortunately I couldn't pass this information onto you as we were only supplied with a UK telephone number as part of your order details.
All our bouquets are prepared fresh before leaving the shop, recutting the stems before placing the flowers in a vase helps maximise vase life after transit.
We genuinely want all our customers to enjoy their flowers, so we'd welcome the opportunity to discuss this further with directly. Pleas feel free to contact us at the shop anytime.
Negative experience: Dissappointing Experience - flowers ordered for Mother's Day this year. Nothing turned up by 5pm, and only to our surprise, did a good nearby samaritan bring the mis-delivered flowers over to the correct property that evening. Very good communication from the Flower Barrow when raised with them, that I can't fault at all (and it's what kept this from a 1 star) - but when paying $100 + $15 for delivery, for flowers on an important event like Mother's day, you hope and expect these will get to your mum, and on time.
Hi Halisign Q, we're very sorry to hear your mother's flowers arrived later than expected on Mother's Day. We understand how important timing is for occasions like this and completely appreciate your disappointment.
While the delay occurred with the courier during one of the busiest delivery periods of the year, we still take your experience seriously and regret that it impacted your order. We always aim to provide both beautiful flowers and reliable service, and we're proud that the vast majority of our customer have had positive experiences with us.
Fantastic experience: I rang up for a very last minute mothers day delivery and I couldn't be more impressed with the service I received. On one of the busiest days of the year for florists they managed to make up a beautiful bunch up of what they had left still and it was delivered within the hour, both my mother and I were very happy. Thank you so much for your care and service!
Hi Sarah Thanks so much for your kind words! We were happy to help make Mother’s Day a little extra special with a last-minute flower delivery for Mum. So pleased we could get them to her quickly and that you had a great experience with us. Hope we can help you again sometime soon!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely lovely bouquets. I've used the flower barrow many times and I've never been disappointed. Easy website and very prompt when replying to emails. Lovely polite florists owners, and their shop in taradale is lush too. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: My sister and I live in different cities from our mum who lives in Napier, we wanted to get her a gift basket along with a bouquet but trying to time it so she would get it together on her birthday seemed impossible. We called a few florists to try and get the gift basket sent to them so a friend could collect them both at the same time, we had numerous people turn us down. Tracy was sooo lovely and was more than happy to help us achieve our goal to surprise our mum. Thank you! Highly recommend
Thanks for your really lovely words Sam. It was really a pleasure to have been able to help.
Fantastic experience: Tracey @ the Flower Barrow has been absolutely amazing! With us being in Auckland and needing a gift for mums birthday down in Napier, she has gone above and beyond to make it all work perfectly for us. The flowers look absolutely adorable and communication has been great. Highly recommended ❤️
I’m so pleased I was able to help Emma, no problem at all and great to have played a small part in your Mum’s birthday surprise. . Thank you for your lovely review!
Fantastic experience: What an incredible experience. Thank you SO MUCH! The gorgeous bouquet, the beautifully wrapped and presented giftbox with chocolates and a card to compliment, was INCREDIBLE . All delivered to the hospital and presented so beautifully. I'm ever so grateful for the wonderful service, quality and care that you put into fulfilling my order. I cannot recommend you enough and an added bonus that your service was by far the best value for money. The flower barrow is an awesome wee gem. ☺️
Thanks so very much Cassandra for your really kind words and for taking the time to let us know. It was a pleasure to have been able to help you :-)

Fantastic experience: Totally impressed.I ordered a posy for my Mum and she received it within the hour of my purchasing it. The flowers looked lovely from the photo I received.
Thank you Helen for your kind words, it means a lot when someone takes the time to share their experience. Flowers say so much whatever the occasion so we always try and get any order made and delivered as soon as we can. We look forward to helping you next time.
Fantastic experience: A beautiful buttonhole and corsage arrangement! I called and I felt so bad it was last minute but you somehow managed it without a hitch and I am thankful you were able to do this for me for the Enchanted Ball. The flowers were the exact colours I wanted and you matched the ribbon perfectly to my dress. I am freezing the flowers to try and and get them preserved into a special home decor piece to remember the evening. I will be 100% coming back to your wonderful florist again! Thank you!
Thanks so much Hayley for your really lovely words, stunning photo!
Fantastic experience: Placed a last minute order for my aunt's service same day. They were very accommodating and tried to do their best under the circumstances. Thank you from Florida, USA..
Fantastic experience: A seamless phone order experience. Not only was the woman on the phone pleasant, polite and helpful, but the flowers arrived (locally) within a couple of hours and looked fab - the receiver very happy with them. Pricing was quite reasonable too, so no complaints at all and would happily use The Flower Barrow again. :-)

Fantastic experience: If you need flowers or plants in the Napier/Hastings area this is where to go! The service is the most helpful I have ever had, the flowers and plants are STUNNING.

Positive experience: good selection
Fantastic experience: We aren't overly floral people, so we had no idea of the arrangement styles, or the flowers that would be available to us for our January wedding. We went into The Flower Barrow last year to chat/get some assistance from the experts - and on our wedding day a stunning bouquet, buttonholes, and some bespoke lantern flower arrangements arrived for us! They were absolutely perfect for us and our theme. Thank you Sheryl & Tracey for being a part of our special day! See you next time we're in the Hawkes Bay!
Fantastic experience: Every time I order from you, I know there's a beautiful bunch of flowers or gifts being delivered to my mum, and they make her day - thank you x
Negative experience: Never been there? How did I get this.
Fantastic experience: I ordered 2 last minute bunches of flowers for delivery mid/late Friday afternoon. An hour or two after I placed the order via their website, I found out that they had already been delivered! Never in my life would I have expected florists to be this efficient and prompt and flexible. The bunches looked absolutely beautiful and I couldn't be happier! Thank you Flower Barrow! I will be using you forever in the future and recommend you to all!
