Send Flowers to Ashdod, Israel

Ashdod was planned from the start, and it shows. Instead of an old centre with suburbs, the city is laid out in residential quarters identified by letters, each with its own shops, schools and parks, stretching south from one of the country's main cargo ports along a long sandy shore. For anyone arranging flower delivery in Ashdod, the quarter is part of the address, so include it with the street, building, entrance and apartment number.

It is one of the most international cities in Israel. Large communities trace their roots to the former Soviet Union, France, Morocco, Georgia and Ethiopia, and relatives across Europe and North America regularly send bouquets home for birthdays, births, anniversaries and the Jewish festivals. International Women's Day on 8 March is warmly observed by many Russian-speaking families, and flowers are the classic gift for it. There are also religious neighbourhoods where Friday flowers for Shabbat are the main weekly order.

The marina, the beach promenade and the dunes on the southern edge give the city a holiday feel in summer, when the heat makes it sensible to bring flowers indoors straight away. Order before midnight Israel time for delivery the next day, Sunday to Friday. There is no same-day service and no delivery on Saturdays.
