Veldkamp’s has been in business since 1959. We have one of the very best delivery teams in the business. Our firm makes daily delivery runs to all hospitals across the greater Denver metro area. People who need to send a get well arrangement, plant or gift to an area hospital can select from either local same day, or express flower delivery service. Need to send the arrangement outside of the Denver area? No problem. We also offer nationwide same day flower delivery. For those that need our sympathy flower service, we offer a beautiful selection of standing sprays, casket flowers, fireside baskets, urn flowers, flowering plants and more. Local same day and express delivery service is available to all area churches, mortuaries, funeral homes and cemeteries.
We buy many of the flowers we sell direct from domestic and international flower farms. Buying direct offers lots of great advantages. When you buy direct, it lowers our overall cost to purchase the flowers. That allows us to pass along those savings to our customers. It also reduces the time between when the flowers are cut at the farm, and when they are shipped to our flower shop for use. Reducing that time frame means the flowers arrive in Denver, fresher than those we might have to buy from a wholesaler.
Local Same Day & Express Delivery
Veldkamp’s Flowers offers local same-day and express flower delivery service. Our local delivery area is the largest among the flower shops operating in the market. Every single floral bouquet our artisans create is backed by our on-time delivery guarantee. We also provide a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee with each flower arrangement as well. If for any reason you don’t absolutely love the fresh flower bouquet we create and deliver for you, just contact our floral design center. We will design and deliver another bouquet, of equal or greater value, absolutely free of charge.
Nationwide Same Day Flower Delivery
If you need to send flowers to someone who resides outside of our local delivery area, we encourage you to opt for our nationwide same day delivery service option. We have developed a hand selected network of floral design partners around the country. Our staff works directly with these vendor partners to accomplish same day deliveries across the United States. Every arrangement, whether scheduled for local or nationwide delivery, is guaranteed for on-time arrival. Each design is also backed by our 100% customer satisfaction guarantee.

Veldkamp’s Flowers Offers Same Day Delivery to Children’s Hospital Colorado
Veldkamp's Flowers Veldkamp's Flowers offers same day delivery to Children's Hospital Colorado. In the late 1800s, parents of kids with medical needs went to Colorado hoping to find a cure in the fresh air and sunshine that were plentiful in our state. To accommodate that need, a group of volunteers established the Babies Summer Hospital in City Park in 1897, which actually amounted to several tents that housed patients who were treated by six medical staff and volunteer nurses. As demand for the fledgling hospital’s services increased, the volunteers recognized that there was a need for a "permanent" hospital that would "care for sick, injured and crippled children from birth to 16 years of age, irrespective of sex, creed, color, nationality or place of birth" that would be supported mainly by volunteer contributions. With that lofty goal to guide them, Children's Hospital Colorado officially incorporated on May 9, 1908. In 1909, Children's Colorado converted a former residence at 2221 Downing Street into a "well equipped institution with a capacity of 30 beds," admitting its first patients on Feb. 17, 1910. As the demand for child healthcare services increased throughout the region, the hospital quickly outgrew its original location and raised more than $200,000 to build a new and improved facility, which opened in 1917 at 19th Avenue and Downing Street in downtown Denver. The "beautiful, new, green and white" building opened with 100 beds and with what The Denver Post described at the time as "every article of equipment known to science.” Today there are over 1,000 professional caregivers on staff. The tents are gone replaced by beautiful medical buildings with many more beds to accommodate sick patients. Children's Hospital Colorado has been on the forefront of medical research for many years. There was a Research Foundation established in 1953. The hospital and its affiliates at the University of Colorado School of Medicine are responsible for virtually all of the pediatric research published in the Rocky Mountain region in the past decade, as well as several internationally recognized medical milestones, including the discovery of toxic shock syndrome and development of new pediatric heart surgery techniques now used around the world.

Veldkamp's Flowers and our creative Floral Designers are standing by to help you select Romance Awareness Month Flowers and Plants. August is often related to being extremely warm, last minute summer vacations and starting to get ready for back to school. But did you know that it is considering by some sources to be the most romantic month of the year? Therefore, it is commonly referred to as Romance Awareness Month. This concept was actually conceived because August is six months after February which as we all know touts Valentine's Day. Arguably the most romantic day of the year. So again, this helps to keep Romance awareness high for the entire year. If you are looking for other romantic activities in addition to giving beautiful Veldkamp's Flowers plants and flowers, below are a few unique ideas. Often it is easy to forget that sometimes it is the simple things that mean the most. Sweets for the sweet. Surprise your special someone with their very favorite desert. Take time to talk to one another and share perhaps their favorite trait that you just love. Most importantly, while you are talking be sure to use what some call the language of love. In other words, use language that refers to quality time, affirmation, physical touch, acts of service and receiving gifts. How romantic an evening stroll can be? Of course, it is August so perhaps wait until sunset and bring water or some other healthy cold beverage. Almost everyone enjoys a good movie. Pick the style you and your special one enjoys and then go to the theatre or rent a movie at home. If you are a good writer, create a love letter or poem and leave it where they will find it. Are you a pretty good cook? If so, delight your sweetie with their favorite home cooked meal. You do not have to go to a loud concert or night club. Quiet time together can be very peaceful and renewing. THE COLORADO BEAUTY BOUQUET Celebrate any special occasion, or just because, with the Colorado Beauty Bouquet.
