Flower Delivery The Glebe

Getting flowers to a Glebe address

Most Glebe deliveries go to brick houses and duplexes with front porches, plus a growing number of apartments and condos close to Bank Street and Lansdowne. For a house, tell us if there is a side door or a back entrance you prefer, or a neighbour who can hold the gift. For a building, add the unit and buzzer details so the driver is not left waiting on the step.

The Glebe is inside our regular delivery area, so many arrangements can go out the same day. Order early, and call or text 819-208-3034 to confirm an afternoon or custom order before you pay. There is no fee table to check: your delivery fee is calculated automatically at checkout from your Glebe address. The card message you type at checkout is hand-written on a card, so a short personal note reads beautifully.

Glebe streets and landmarks we know well

The Glebe sits between the Queensway and the Rideau Canal, with Bank Street running through the middle. Its shopping district stretches along Bank from about the Queensway down to Holmwood Avenue, and a large share of those shops are locally owned. At the south end, Lansdowne Park and TD Place host football, hockey and basketball games, concerts and the Sunday farmers' market. To the west, the canal widens into Dow's Lake, and Glebe Collegiate Institute, one of the city's largest public high schools, sits on Glebe Avenue. We deliver to all of it, from the blocks just south of the Queensway to the homes that back onto the canal.

Seasons and celebrations in the Glebe

Few neighbourhoods have a calendar quite like this one. In May, the Canadian Tulip Festival fills Commissioners Park beside Dow's Lake with hundreds of thousands of blooms, and it is a natural time to send a tulip bouquet to someone who lives within walking distance. All year, the Ottawa Farmers' Market runs on Sundays at Lansdowne, outdoors in Aberdeen Square in the warm months and inside the Aberdeen Pavilion in winter. When the Rideau Canal Skateway opens, Bank Street becomes the Glebe gateway to the ice, and a box of chocolate-dipped strawberries makes a sweet welcome home after a skate. June brings graduations at Glebe Collegiate, and our graduation flowers are made for that week.

Care homes, hospitals and sympathy flowers near the Glebe

The Glebe Centre, a long-term care home on Monk Street near Bank Street, is a frequent destination for birthday and holiday flowers from families. For hospital stays, The Ottawa Hospital's Civic Campus on Carling Avenue is the closest, a short drive west of Dow's Lake. Some hospital units and care floors do not allow fresh flowers or latex balloons, so please check first; a preserved rose arrangement is a lasting alternative where fresh stems are not allowed.

We also deliver sympathy flowers to funeral homes in and around the Glebe, including the Hulse, Playfair & McGarry Central Chapel on McLeod Street, just north of the Queensway. Tell us the service date and time and we will plan the delivery around it.
