Flowers for Morrinsville

Farm gates and RD numbers around Morrinsville

Rural addresses use "RD" and the Rural Delivery number where a suburb would normally go, written as "RD 1" rather than "R.D.1". The town on a rural address is where the delivery round is based, which is not always the nearest town to the farm.

• Ask the family for the exact RD number and postcode.
• Rural addresses (RD numbers) can take longer, and NZ Post no longer delivers parcels to most rural addresses on Saturdays.
• Add a phone number and gate or driveway notes.

From the Lockerbie Estate to Mabel the mega cow

Thomas Morrin bought the Kuranui No.1 Block and founded the Lockerbie Estate on 13 December 1873. Dairy still shapes the town: a butter factory here claims to be the first fully automated butter factory in the world. Morrinsville is also known for its painted cow statues, including Mabel, a 6.5-metre mega cow built in 2017 – a fun mention on a birthday or thank-you card. The Roy Scott Recreation Reserve and the tracks along the Waitakaruru Stream and Piako River are the town's green spaces.

Show day in Cureton Street and the Thames Street parade

The Morrinsville Christmas Parade 2026, run by the Morrinsville Chamber of Commerce, is on 12 December from 1:30 to 3:30pm in Thames Street – a busy afternoon in the town centre, so a weekday delivery before it is the easier option for Christmas flowers. Our Christmas flowers guide has ideas.

The Morrinsville A&P Show is on Saturday 6 March 2027 in Cureton Street, with gates open from 8am. If someone you know is showing stock or baking, flowers the following week make a cheerful congratulations. School prize-givings are another occasion: the town has Morrinsville College, Morrinsville Intermediate and several primary schools.
