Hey Flora Blossoms In The Burdekin

A fresh burst of colour and creativity has landed on Edwards Street, Ayr, with the opening of Hey Flora—a new flower shop now offering delivery, everyday blooms, and arrangements for weddings, funerals, and other large-scale events.

Officially opened on June 7, Hey Flora is the creation of Burdekin local Tegan Johnson, who brings six years of floral industry experience to the shop. Her carefully curated selection features blooms sourced from both North Queensland and interstate, with a focus on variety and standout quality.

“We look to bring in stock that's different—stock that people don't usually see in other shops,” she says. That philosophy has already earned her glowing reviews, with customers reporting flowers that still look fresh after more than a week.

But it’s not just about bouquets. The shop doubles as a boutique gift space, with a thoughtfully curated range of candles, skincare products, face masks, clay kits, and shower steamers—useful for anyone wanting to treat a friend (or themselves).

Despite only opening recently, Tegan says the community response has been overwhelming in the best way. “I’ve had a lot of support so far," she says.

With an eye for the exceptional and a strong commitment to quality, Hey Flora is quickly establishing itself as the Burdekin's one-stop flower shop. Whether you’re planning a wedding or just popping in for a gift, Hey Flora has you covered.
