Deliveries to Hospitals and Institutions

Hospitals and their staff go to great lengths to prevent the spread of infection. Many do not allow flowers as the flowers may unwittingly carry an opportunity for bugs to spread.

lf you are sending flowers to a patient or member of staff in a hospital or health institution you must ensure that the flowers will be accepted as we will not compensate should the flowers be refused or lost.

A mobile phone number for the recipient is essential, without which it's impossible to locate staff at a hospital.

Please note, we will deliver only to the reception of a hospital or health institution and cannot accept liability should a patient or member of staff not actually receive the flowers.

We actively suggest you send to a home address instead.
