About Us

My name is Lorraine Wilks and I opened Fragrance of Flowers on May 1^st 2017 as a start-up business. For me, this was both a courageous venture as well as an exciting one, as it had been several years since I had worked as a florist. I trained as a florist when I left school back in the 70s but left the industry to become a full-time mother and later retrained as a primary school teacher.

Fragrance of Flowers is located at the northern end of Katikati beside Waihi Pizza and opposite the Beach Road intersection. I mostly work in the shop by myself, although my husband Brian often helps out with flower deliveries.

Our motto is “Quality Flowers to Endure,” because we want people to enjoy flowers with a long vase-life so that you get good value for your money. To achieve this, we source our flowers directly from New Zealand growers which means that the flowers are fresh with more consistent pricing. We stand by our product, so if you are unhappy with the quality of your flowers then we want to know. We will always replace the product if it is poor quality.

Fragrance of Flowers also supply flowers at the following outlets: Katikati Four Square and SuperValue Waihi. Whether flowers are purchased through the flower shop or from one of these outlet stores, the quality of the flowers does not alter. Our aftercare service is very important to us so each bunch that that is sold (regardless of location) is sold with a packet of flower food.
