Mother’s Day flowers

If you’ve ever picked up a bunch of fresh flowers at the Rotary Camberwell Sunday Market, chances are you’ve bought them from Market Blooms.

Stallholder Nguyen Tran said he has been trading at the market for more than five years.

The business, which is part of Mr Fresh Wholesale Flowers, sells a range of flowers and foliage, catering to the varied tastes and preferences of its customers.

The majority of the flowers sold at Market Blooms are grown locally at farms in Victoria, and Mr Tran works directly with growers to source the flowers sold at his stall. 

At the stall you’ll find common varieties of flowers such as carnations, chrysanthemums, tulips, gerberas, and proteas. They offer both bunches of a single types of flowers as well as mixed bouquets.  

“There’s certain flowers that people like but I do try to bring in a little bit of everything; to try and have a good range,” Mr Tran said.
