Order before 13:00 local time and the flowers can be with them the same day, with deliveries running Monday to Saturday. You are in another country and they are not, which is exactly why sending flowers to Botswana matters: a new baby in the family, timed for a day when the parents are home to enjoy them, needs a florist on the ground rather than a parcel in transit. You order and pay securely online in your own currency, and every order includes a free card message, printed exactly as you write it.
Choose a bouquet before the early-afternoon deadline and a local florist can be at their door today.

Miss the deadline and the order simply shifts to the next delivery date you pick at checkout, so the day it lands is still your choice. For a Sunday occasion, set the date for the Saturday before and the flowers are in the house when the day starts. Arrangements are made with what's freshest, and if a flower isn't available the florist substitutes one of equal or greater value in a matching style, which keeps the shape and the colour of what you ordered even when one variety has run out for the morning.
No — there is no residential postcode in common use, and mail is addressed to a P.O. Box instead, as in P.O. Box 1234, Gaborone. Give the complete address: the recipient's name, the plot or house and street, the suburb or ward, the town, and the box number where there is one, plus a phone number for the recipient. Florists use that number to confirm availability and the exact address, and it is the difference between a delivery that arrives and one that circles a neighbourhood.
Over 100 arrangements are ready to send, hand-tied and wrapped in cellophane or paper. Gift baskets, plants and chocolates go through the same checkout, so a bouquet can arrive with something to open next to it, on the same date and with the same card. Nothing about the bouquet changes when you do: the flowers are still made up that morning by the florist nearest the address, and the extras travel with them. Add whichever fits the occasion before you confirm the delivery date.
The arid climate limits local cut-flower growing, so florists lean on imports trucked in from South Africa through the year, much of it traded at Multiflora in Johannesburg. Roses, carnations, lilies, chrysanthemums and gerberas are the stems that turn up most, in clean, Western-influenced arrangements built around imported roses and lilies, with eucalyptus, ferns, ruscus or asparagus fern for greenery. Flowers tend to be given for birthdays, anniversaries and romantic occasions, mostly in Gaborone and the other urban centres. For a funeral, wreaths are the usual form, white lilies and chrysanthemums the usual choices, often displayed at the home or the church before the burial.
Valentine's Day on 14 February and Mother's Day, whose date varies and is often kept on a designated Sunday, are the exception to the usual schedule: florists open for the big flower days, so your order can arrive even when the date falls on a Sunday. Around Valentine's Day and Mother's Day, order at least 48 hours ahead. Botswana Day on 30 September brings civic and family gatherings, and Christmas Day on 25 December puts flowers into homes and churches for the festive visits. Set your date as soon as you know it and the busiest mornings take care of themselves.
If the recipient isn't home, the florist will usually phone them or arrange a redelivery. Someone mid-journey is the harder case: a person at an airport, railway station or cruise terminal is almost impossible to reach with a delivery, so use their hotel, office or home address instead, timed for after they arrive. Apartment deliveries often need a door code — add it at checkout, where it costs nothing and saves a wasted trip. For an office, pick a day the recipient is in, since the delivery has to land within working hours.
Yes — order before 13:00 local time and your flowers can be delivered the same day. Orders placed after the cutoff are delivered on the next available day you choose at checkout.
Yes — most orders here are placed from abroad. Ordering takes a few minutes online, and a local florist handles the delivery.
You can request a preferred time slot, but exact times cannot be guaranteed — deliveries follow the local florist's routes and workload for the day, and the calendar only offers dates that are available.
Acceptance depends on the hospital and ward — check before ordering; otherwise delivery goes to reception. Use the hospital's own city and full address, with the patient's full name and, where possible, the ward or room.
Yes. Include the guest's full name and, if you can, their arrival date or booking reference so reception can match the delivery to the right guest.
Yes. Include the resident's full name and, where possible, the floor or unit. It is worth checking the residence accepts flower deliveries; reception will usually pass them on.
Wreaths and formal funeral pieces need 24–48 hours' notice. Choose a delivery date at checkout that leaves the florist that much time to prepare the piece.
