About Us
Stones Corner Flower Shop was established in 2016, we are a locally owned, small business, based in Brisbane's iconic Stones Corner. After the disruptions caused by COCID-19, in May 2020 we made the decision to move our model of operating from a bricks and mortar retail store to our home based studio and we haven't looked back.
We are still based in Stones Corner, and you can order your fresh flowers via this website, or if you would prefer to speak directly with Lynnette to place an order, you can call her on 0420 268 158. We are still doing Brisbane flower deliveries, or you can pickup your flowers from our Stones Corner collection point at Books@Stones, which is located at 360 Logan Rd, in Stones Corner.
At Stones Corner Flower Shop we do floristry the old fashioned way, we get up early each morning to visit the local markets and growers, where we source the best quality, freshest flowers and foliages at the most reasonable prices. We then bring them back to our studio where we create beautiful hand-tied bouquets and arrangements for our daily deliveries.
Here at Stones Corner Flower Shop we care about a lot of things, but if we had to pick the top 3 things that we care about, they’d be:
Our Customers
We care about our customers by providing fresh, quality flowers at reasonable prices. We also take the time to provide our customers with good old fashioned polite and efficient service. If our customers are happy with their flowers then we’re happy too.
Our Community
We care about our community by supporting local schools, clubs and organisations. We also shop locally and where ever possible stock gifts, candles and chocolates produced by local Brisbane makers. This supports other local businesses, which in turn supports our local economy and helps to strengthen opportunities within our community.
Our Environment
We really, really care about our environment that’s why we are on a journey towards eco-floristry and the practice of Ethical and Sustainable Floristry. At Stones Corner Flower Shop we are committed to making every effort to minimise the environmental impact of our operations.

HOW WE GOT HERE
Lynnette Johnson is the inspiration behind Stones Corner Flower Shop, her grandmother, her mother and her sister were also florists! Following in the family tradition, Lynnette started her floristry career in South Australia.... it was a long time ago, when she was just a young girl. After working as a florist for over 10 years and winning South Australia Florist Of The Year, Lynnette decided to move overseas and pursue a totally different career in the Community Development and Humanitarian Aid sector.
Responding to humanitarian disasters and crisis situations, is a high pressure, fast paced environment, so during her time working in this field, Lynnette often said, “when I’m ready to retire from humanitarian work, I’ll go back to being a florist and open a little flower shop on the corner somewhere”. In 2016, Lynnette finally decided to returned to Australia, and opened Stones Corner Flower Shop in Brisbane..... and the ‘little flower shop’ that she had often dreamed of became a reality.
While working in the humanitarian aid and community development sector, Lynnette predominantly assisted people effected by natural disasters in Asia and the war torn crisis in the Middle East. While helping people to re-build their lives after natural disasters or conflict, Lynnette learned the importance of caring for our environment and the people in our local community, that taking the time to appreciate the important people, and things in our lives, plays a key role in our overall wellbeing. In the aftermath of natural disasters, Lynnette often worked to rebuild rural communities and fishing villages using ethical and sustainable, organic permaculture farming principles. So when Lynnette opened Stones Corner Flower Shop she was committed to developing an eco-friendly floristry business by using sustainable and ethical floristry practices where ever possible.
In a world where most things have become instant and mass produced, Lynnette understands that different people want different flowers for different occasions, so at Stones Corner Flower Shop, whether arranging something simple or something spectacular, every flower is placed with thought and care. We believe that the giving and receiving of a beautiful, hand crafted display of fresh, locally grown flowers, evoke positive emotional feelings, that not only connects us to nature, but also to living as part of our caring community.
