Hawke's Bay's largest florist — creating beautiful floral arrangements, bouquets, and event styling from their iconic Black Shed in Taradale since 2006.
A Hawke's Bay Floral Institution
Chilton At The Black Shed has been a beloved part of the Hawke's Bay community for nearly two decades. Operating from their distinctive Black Shed premises in Taradale, this family-run florist has grown into the region's largest floral studio, renowned for the quality and artistry of their work. Whether you need a simple bunch of seasonal blooms, an elaborate wedding installation, or sympathy flowers delivered with care, Chilton's team brings creativity, warmth, and genuine passion to every arrangement.
What They Offer
Everyday Bouquets & Arrangements
From classic roses and lilies to wild, garden-style arrangements bursting with seasonal colour, Chilton creates bouquets for every occasion — birthdays, anniversaries, thank-yous, or just-because moments. Their signature style leans toward lush, natural compositions with unexpected texture and movement.
Wedding & Event Florals
Chilton is one of Hawke's Bay's most sought-after wedding florists. They work closely with couples to design everything from bridal bouquets and boutonnieres to full ceremony arches, table centrepieces, and reception installations. Their portfolio spans rustic vineyard weddings, elegant estate celebrations, and intimate garden ceremonies.
Sympathy & Funeral Flowers
Thoughtful sympathy arrangements, casket sprays, and funeral tributes are crafted with sensitivity and care. Same-day delivery is available for urgent orders within the Napier–Hastings area.
Gifts & Hampers
Beyond flowers, The Black Shed stocks a curated selection of gifts, candles, vases, indoor plants, and artisan food hampers — perfect for pairing with a floral arrangement or gifting on their own.
