Our Story
Over the past 23 years, the Donvale Flower Gallery has blossomed and grown to be one of Melbourne’s best Florists.
Established in 1993 by Marie Horton and her son Geoff, the Donvale Flower Gallery has developed into one of Melbourne’s most iconic florist and home décor establishments.
Marie’s passion for pottery and Australian crafts helped create the unique combination between the “Flowers” and the “Gallery”.
A large part of Geoff’s week is taken up by sourcing flowers with over 90% of the stock is collected directly from the farms, mostly in Monbulk, Silvan and Seville.
The business has constantly evolved and after four extensions and countless renovations it has become one of Melbourne’s finest.
We attribute our success to:
– Providing excellent products
– Beautiful presentation
– Professional service
