Flowers on Kensington

Welcome to Flowers on Kensington, your go-to florist in Durban North! We are Gai and Roxane, a mother-daughter team dedicated to bringing beauty and joy through flowers. Recently, we took a leap of faith and purchased this beloved florist that has been a cherished part of the Durban North community in Kensington Square for over 30 years.

Gai, a retired entrepreneur with a lifelong passion for business, began her journey with us when she was offered a part-time position at the florist, working just two mornings a week. Little did she know that this would lead to the purchase of the shop just three weeks later—on her birthday!

Roxane, with her keen eye for detail after running a beauty salon for 15 years, and her love for aesthetics, she is dedicated to creating stunning floral arrangements that not only brighten spaces but also touch hearts.

Our story is woven with remarkable connections. During the purchase negotiations, we discovered that the seller’s son had previously sold his company to Gai’s son over 20 years ago, highlighting how beautifully intertwined our lives can be.

We are proud to have retained our talented team of staff members, each of whom has been with us for over 10 years. Their expertise ensures that you can expect the same, if not better, quality and service you’ve come to love.

At Flowers on Kensington, we believe that sending a gift is a heartfelt way to show you care. That’s why Roxane is actively enhancing our online presence, making it easier and more enjoyable to order flowers and gifts from the comfort of your home. Our website now features exciting new additions, including Wicked Donuts, Chateau Gateaux cakes, luxury men’s hampers, ladies’ care packages, soy candles, reed room diffusers, stationery, edible hampers, Wedgewood chocolates and many new gifting options over and above the range of creative floral arrangements.

We pride ourselves on sourcing the freshest blooms from local markets up to five days a week, ensuring that you receive the best quality with a longer life. Every flower delivery includes a sachet of flower food and helpful tips to maximize the lifespan of your bouquet, allowing you to experience the magic of flowers for as long as possible.
