Send someone a virtual hug

Iwrite this article at the end of the first week of being at Covid19 Alert Level 3. As a business owner, we have had to make huge adjustments to how we operate, and the first week back has been rather chaotic. Everything is taking time as we transition from Level 4 to Level 3.

As we re-enter our communities, we all need to work out which businesses have re-opened, which ones haven’t. Sadly, some companies have had to close up completely.

Courier drivers are working overtime, and freight can take a little longer to be delivered, so I urge everyone to: “Be Kind… Be Patient…”

Lockdown is hard for everyone. It is particularly hard for families celebrating the birth of a child or if an elderly parent takes ill because we cannot visit them or even hug them. Let flowers bridge that gap. Send someone a virtual hug through flowers.

Fragrance of Flowers is accepting orders online, by telephone and via email. We can make (contactless) deliveries. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept walk-in orders, as the shop is operating at Covid-19 Alert Level 3. Still, you can buy flowers and houseplants from our flower-stand at Katikati Four Square on Main Road, Katikati.
