Send Flowers to Petah Tikva, Israel

Israelis call Petah Tikva Em HaMoshavot, the Mother of the Moshavot, because it was the first of the modern agricultural colonies. The orange groves have largely given way to a large working city east of Tel Aviv, but the nickname survives in street names and in one of its newest residential neighbourhoods.

Two things shape flower delivery in Petah Tikva. The first is medicine: the Rabin Medical Center, with its Beilinson and Hasharon campuses, and the Schneider Children's Medical Center draw patients from the whole country, so get-well and new-baby bouquets are a daily request. For hospital orders, give the patient's full name, the department and a relative's mobile number, since wards have their own rules about flowers. The second is work: the business parks of Kiryat Aryeh and Kiryat Matalon house technology and pharmaceutical companies, and colleagues abroad often send congratulations or thank-you arrangements to offices there.

Residential areas range from the older centre around Founders' Square to family neighbourhoods such as Kfar Ganim and Em HaMoshavot. The city has a sizeable religious community, and flowers ordered for Friday are a much appreciated way to honour Shabbat. Orders placed before midnight Israel time are delivered the next day, Sunday to Friday. Same-day and Saturday delivery are not offered anywhere in Israel.
