Ordering & Timing

To ensure timely delivery to Wilkes Barre General Hsptl, follow these guidelines:

• Same-day delivery: Many local florists accept same-day orders if placed by early to mid-afternoon. Cutoff times vary by shop and day of the week; during holidays or peak times, earlier ordering is recommended.
• Next-day and scheduled delivery: If you want a specific arrangement or color palette, ordering at least one day in advance gives florists time to source specialty flowers.
• Hospital delivery process: When placing an order, provide the recipient’s full name, room number (if known), and the hospital’s address. If the recipient is not yet admitted or the room number is pending, note this in your order; florists will often call the hospital’s main desk to confirm delivery details.
• Delivery windows: Florists usually provide morning or afternoon delivery windows. Exact times may not be guaranteed; consider scheduling earlier in the day if the visit is time-sensitive.
• Holiday and weekend deliveries: Expect higher demand and potentially earlier cutoffs around major holidays (Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas). Place orders well in advance during these periods.

What to Expect On Delivery

Most deliveries to hospital rooms are made to the nurses’ station or the unit desk first for verification, then carried to the patient’s room. Medical staff may refuse delivery of certain items (some intensive care units limit flowers), so florists will often coordinate with the hospital if required. If a patient is discharged before delivery, florists may leave the arrangement at the nurses’ station or contact the buyer for alternate instructions.

Flower Care Tips

To help arrangements last longer once they reach the hospital or home, share these tips with the recipient or follow them yourself:

• Trim stems: Recut stems at an angle about one inch from the bottom before placing in fresh water.
• Change water regularly: Replace the water every two days and remove any debris or decaying petals to prevent bacteria growth.
• Use flower food: If provided, add the packet to the water to feed the blooms and slow bacteria development.
• Keep cool and out of direct sunlight: Place arrangements away from heat sources, vents, and windows with direct sun.
• Remove wilting blooms: Taking out spent flowers helps the remaining stems last longer and keeps the arrangement tidy.

Special Considerations

If you’re arranging delivery for someone in a specialized unit (maternity, ICU, or oncology), alert the florist when ordering. They’ll recommend appropriate arrangements and confirm whether the hospital unit accepts flowers. For sympathy deliveries during memorial services, coordinate timing with the ceremony or funeral home to ensure tributes arrive when needed.

Sending flowers to Wilkes Barre General Hsptl is a meaningful way to support patients and families. By ordering with clear delivery details and following basic care tips, you can ensure your floral gift is well-received and enjoyed for as long as possible.
