A Sydney Market Tradition

Part of Sydney's story since the First Fleet.

The Sydney Flower Market has been a part of Sydney's market tradition since the First Fleet. The first market was set up on a site that now houses the Maritime Gallery, before moving to The Rocks and then to a more permanent site at the Queen Victoria Building in George Street, Sydney.

As Sydney expanded, the markets relocated to Haymarket. This location eventually became too small for the needs of the growing Sydney metropolitan area.

The NSW Government subsequently commissioned the construction of Sydney Markets, where the Sydney Flower Market is now located.

Flowers, foliage and distinctive native varieties brought together in one central market.

Locally Grown and Seasonally Diverse

A wide range of flowers grown across NSW and Australia.

NSW has a wide range of climates, allowing many different varieties of flowers to be locally grown. The main flower-growing areas include the Central Coast, Horsley Park, Leppington, Dural and Glenorie.

These growing regions are within two to three hours of Sydney Markets, allowing fresh cut flowers to be brought directly from farms to the market each day.

Fresh Cut Flowers

Colour for every season and occasion

Growers and traders offer an extensive range for florists, events, businesses and the general public.

All traders in the Sydney Flower Market must be flower growers. However, many traders also act as wholesalers or agents for other growers throughout Australia.

Some flowers are also imported, particularly when local supplies are low. All traders are shareholders of Sydney Markets Limited.

Through the use of a central market, Sydney can enjoy some of the lowest prices for fresh flowers in the developed world. The Sydney Flower Market has also become a key price indicator for fresh cut flowers, with the extensive range stocked at the market representing a broad cross-section of growers.
