This South Yarra florist is a one-stop shop for gifts, homewares and, of course, flowers.
With fresh flowers arriving daily from around the globe, Botanics of Melbourne is another must-visit store for flower lovers. Specialising in centrepiece designs and elaborate arrangements, there's also a delightful assortment of terrariums, ceramics, homewares, gifts, cards and gourmet foods to choose from. Spread across two massive levels in a prime Punt Road spot, the airy South Yarra storefront is overloaded with indoor plants and greenery as light floods in through the atrium. Owner Shane Sipolis opened his first florist when he was just 19 years old. Now, many years later, he has some special knowhow that'll ensure you find just what you need.
