The Best Florists in Business in the Philippines (Updated for 2023)

Given that the Philippines is one of the last remaining bastions of biodiversity, it’s no surprise that the administration – both at the center and across provinces and major cities – are trying their best to preserve the natural riches the archipelago has been blessed with.

Get this: estimates suggest that almost 5% of the planet’s flora and fauna are found in the Philippines. Some of the most critically endangered species of plants and animals are still found in this 21^st century Utopia.

The 2 primary reasons why there are so many flower shops in the Philippines is because the blossoms are easily available, and that Filipinos adore flowers. There is a deep tie that binds the people and these ornamental natural wonders available locally.

From religious ceremonies to weddings to honeymoons to bridal showers – no occasion is complete without fresh flowers. They have a prominent role to play in times of mourning and loss.

Naturally, there are several hundred florists in the Philippines. The vast majority of them are concentrated in the Metro Manila region. That’s not surprising since the capital city is the world’s most densely populated metropolis.

That said, you can easily send flowers to the Philippines from every corner of the archipelago and the world. The number of online agencies specializing in the timely delivery of domestic & exotic species is rising as e-commerce gradually takes hold of almost everything that the people consume.

The industry is not foolproof, however. Flower delivery in the Philippines remains a cause for concern in the far-flung regions that often become inaccessible due to the whims of the sub-tropical climate. But things are improving, and quite rapidly too.

If you are looking forward to sending your favorite flowers to those you care for, you might want to have a look at the next section!
