About Us

In the riverside town of Wardell, New South Wales, Oldboy’s Flowers took root from a family passion for horticulture and a shared dedication to quality and integrity. What began as a simple love for gardening has blossomed into one of Australia’s most trusted names for flowering bulbs, plants, and gardening essentials.

Founder Kieren Delaney spent 13 years serving in the Australian Army before trading military life for life among the flowers. His love for plants and bulbs came from his grandfather Bernie — known affectionately as Oldboy — whose discipline, work ethic and values shaped Kieren from a young age. Those same principles stayed with him throughout his Army service and now underpin a business built on genuine care for every plant that leaves the nursery.

Today, Oldboy’s Flowers supplies high-quality plants and bulbs to gardeners across Australia. Every order is prepared carefully by hand, every bulb packed with pride, and every customer treated as part of the family. We believe in doing things properly — the old-fashioned way — with honesty, attention to detail, and a deep respect for the plants we grow.

Our commitment to quality and community has been recognised at the highest level. In 2025, Oldboy’s Flowers proudly won the People’s Choice Award in the Nursery & Garden Industry NSW & ACT Awards, reflecting the trust and loyalty of gardeners across the country. That same year, we were honoured as a Finalist for Retailer of the Year, standing alongside some of Australia’s most respected nurseries. These achievements mark a significant milestone in our journey and reaffirm the values we stand for.

Our roots run deep in the community that helped us grow. We proudly support organisations such as Wardell CORE, Soldier On, Paramedics Australia, Volunteers Australia, and the Red Cross, helping veterans, first responders, and local families through tough times. Whether we are sponsoring the Australia Day cricket match, donating plants to schools, or contributing to local fundraisers, giving back is woven into our story.

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We reuse and recycle wherever possible, use biodegradable packaging, and continually look for ways to reduce waste. Gardening is about giving back to the earth — and we take that responsibility seriously.

From a family passion in Wardell to gardens all across the country, Oldboy’s Flowers remains proudly family-run, proudly local, and committed to helping Australians grow something beautiful.
