Order & delivery

Tell me what it's for. I'll make it from whatever is best that Friday.

Most of my orders are birthdays and sympathy flowers, and until now the only way to place one was to message me on Instagram. You can do it here instead. Nothing is paid for online; I read every order myself and reply to confirm it before anything is cut.

  1. Step one

    Tell me what it's for

    A birthday, sympathy flowers, or no reason at all. Say who it's for and anything you'd like me to know: colours they love, anything to avoid, roughly what you'd like to spend.

  2. Step two

    Choose Friday delivery or collection

    I deliver around Totnes and Dartington on Fridays. If you'd rather, collect from the shop on the high street on a day that suits you.

  3. Step three

    I confirm, then make it from the week's best

    I'll reply to confirm the order and the day. Then it's made from what's best in the buckets that week, so no two bunches are quite the same.

Birthdays

A birthday bunch is whatever is best the week it's needed.

I don't make the same bouquet twice because I don't have the same flowers twice. A birthday bunch in October has dahlias and rosehips in it; in June it would have had sweet peas. You tell me who it's for and roughly what you'd like to spend, and I make the best bunch I can from what's on the bench that Friday, tied in brown paper.

This week that means

Dahlias, the last of the cosmos, Michaelmas daisies, rudbeckia, scabious, amaranthus, rosehips from the hedge, and sedum going over.

Sympathy flowers

You don't need to know what to ask for.

If you're sending flowers because someone has died, I'm sorry. Tell me who they're for, where they need to go and when, and anything you'd like them to say: a colour, a flower the person loved, or nothing in particular. That is enough.

I'll make something calm from the best of the week, mostly white and green unless you'd like otherwise, and send it with a card in your own words. I reply once to confirm and to ask anything I need to, and then I get on with it; I won't make you go back and forth.

If the day they're needed isn't a Friday, say so and I'll tell you what I can do. And if you'd rather come into the shop on the high street and talk it through, do. We can work it out together at the bench.

Write the order

Place an order

Order flowers for Friday, or to collect.

Fill this in and I'll reply to confirm. Nothing is paid for online, and I won't make anything until we've agreed it.

I'll confirm the order by replying here.

Delivery or collection

Deliveries are Fridays. If you're collecting, any day the shop is open.

Totnes or Dartington. Leave this empty if you're collecting.

Written out exactly as you put it here.

Who it's for, colours they love, anything to avoid, roughly what you'd like to spend.

I'll reply to confirm before anything is made.

How we handle what you send us

Delivery day

Friday

Deliveries go out on Fridays, around Totnes and Dartington, the day the week's flowers are in.

I don't deliver on other days or further afield. For flowers midweek, come to the shop on the high street.

Stem & Stonecrop
High Street, Totnes, Devon

If you'd rather see the buckets before you choose, or you need flowers on a day that isn't a Friday, come in. Whatever is on the bench is for sale by the stem or as a bunch, and I'll tie it while you wait.

Opening hours are on the door and on Instagram; if you're making a special trip, check there first.
