Lyn and The Team at Boydita Flowers Delivered are proud to announce that we have been named Finalists in The 2008 True Local Business Awards for the sixth year in a row. This is a true reflection of our commitment to Exceeding Customers Expectations.

The Team at Boydita flowers Delivered are consistently monitoring and maintaining our high standards to make sure each and every customer has an enjoyable shopping experience when they shop with us.We are constantly training and updating our procedures to meet with our customers needs.

The Presentation evening for the 2008 True Local Business Awards will be held at The central Coast Leagues Club on Monday 24th November 2008 where lots of the premier businesses on the Central Coast will gather to hear the Winners of each category announced.

We would like to sincerely Thank all Our valued Clients for their ongoing support, that has enabled us to provide a great Floral Service to the Central Coast  since 1974.

We have been busy at Boydita Flowers Delivered at Fountain Plaza Erina, we have refurbished the consultation area in our store, to make our shopping experience even more enjoyable for our clients.

We have introduced a new style of chairs which are very comfortable and look great to suit the overall new design of the area.This area allows us to provide a very personalised service to you in comfort and allow for privacy when sending flowers to that special someone.

On the way is a totally new and very exciting  order taking system which will allow us to keep a record of all purchases placed with us for easy tracking of orders and hence will increase our efficiency, but still with a very friendly professional service that we have become so well known for.

The Famous Fragrant Boydita Dozen Roses are back in bloom again. Yes we are still growing  our Famous Fragrant Dozen Roses at our Farm at Somersby. We have lots of fragrant  varieties available. We are believed to be one of only a small number of commercial growers still growing the field roses. Most growers have changed to hydroponic growing in which the rose is grown for high yield, failing to produce that strong fragrance of the field grown roses.

The Roses are picked fresh and delivered to the store daily, when you purchase your roses look for the Boydita Logo and the variety of the Rose will be on the label, so you can identify your favourites and ask for them by name.

At Boydita Flowers Delivered we will give you a Free sachet of flower food with each bunch of Roses you purchase be sure to add this to the water, remove any foliage that will be below the water line and re cut the stems on an angle before placing them into the water as we like your flowers to last you as long as possible.
