Merchant & Green began as a dream rooted in childhood memories of Northern NSW gardens and blossomed into one of Sydney's most beloved florists. Founded in 2017 by Chris Saban—a creative with 28 years of floristry experience and a Bachelor of Fine Art from National Art School Sydney—our boutique florist has grown from a small Redfern studio into a thriving creative hub that serves Sydney's diverse communities.

What started as Chris's passion project, inspired by family connections to flowers and years in design and event styling, has evolved into a creative studio of floral decorators and plant stylists. We're passionate about flowers, plants, gardening, and special events, focusing on beautiful products and exceptional service that Sydney clients have come to trust.

Step into our 100-square-metre studio at 686 Bourke Street, Redfern, and discover a carefully curated world of botanical beauty. Our space thoughtfully balances fresh flowers, hands-on workshops, lush indoor plants, and unique gifts to create an inspiring environment for flower lovers and plant enthusiasts alike.

From seasonal Australian natives like banksia, blue gum, and paper daisy to elegant orchids and bespoke terrariums, our collection showcases premium flowers Sydney and plants sourced from Australian growers and fair trade suppliers whenever possible. You'll also find fragrant candles by Gasgoine and King, artisan chocolates from New Farm Confectionery, hand-drawn gift cards by artist Chloe Hoffman, and elegant ceramics that complement our botanical aesthetic.

Our reputation as a premier Sydney florist extends beyond beautiful bouquets to our highly-rated workshops. Four times weekly, we host intimate sessions in Terrarium creation, Kokedama (Japanese moss ball art), Flower Arranging, and our newest offering—Bonsai for Beginners. With approximately 50% attendance rates and glowing reviews, these workshops have become a cornerstone of our community engagement.

Nestled on the picturesque, tree-lined Bourke Street in Redfern—a vibrant inner-city village celebrating indigenous and multicultural heritage—we're perfectly positioned at the intersection of creativity and community. Just five minutes from the iconic Bourke Street Bakery and Sydney Light Rail stop, our location makes us easily accessible for anyone seeking exceptional Sydney florists or unique botanical experiences.

Our commitment extends far beyond beautiful flowers. We actively collaborate with local organisations including Bourke Street Public School, Surry Hills Neighbourhood Centre, Fullstop Foundation, Belvoir St Theatre, Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, and Two Good Co, strengthening the fabric of our beloved community.

True to our green heritage, we're proud Carbon Neutral program supporters, having offset 70 tonnes of CO₂ through the Yarra Yarra Biodiversity Corridor project in south-western Australia. We believe every small step toward climate action—whether individual or business—builds a more resilient, empowered community.

From same-day flower delivery Sydney (orders before 11:30am) to bespoke wedding flowers Sydney and corporate events, our services span every special moment. Whether you need elegant house flowers, stunning event styling, or want to join our popular workshops, Merchant & Green combines artistry, sustainability, and community connection in everything we do.
