Story of Passion, Vibrancy and Community Connection

Nestled in the heart of Mooroopna, Hydie Blooms stands as a vibrant testament to community spirit, connection and artistic passion. This local florist and gift store, owned by the beloved Lauren Kiss, has quickly become a go too gift store for residents and visitors alike. Lauren, a well-known figure in Mooroopna, has poured her heart and soul into this venture, and it shows in every detail of the shop.

Lauren's deep connection to Mooroopna is evident in her dedication to both her family and her community. A true hometown girl, she has always been passionate about enhancing the beauty and spirit of Mooroopna. Her journey to opening Hydie Blooms is a blend of personal triumph, perseverance and creative aspiration. The building that houses her business holds sentimental value, as it was previously occupied by her father, John Kiss, another famous face in town. This continuity of family presence adds a layer of warmth and familiarity to her shop. As people enter Hydie Blooms there is the sound of a charming bell above the door.  This bell was hand crafted by her father many years ago, so holds very special meaning to the Kiss family.

“I love this region we all call home and believe so much in sharing what we have to offer. I love the passion behind Destination Goulburn Valley - it's infectious.”

— Lauren Kiss 'Owner' Hydie Blooms Mooroopna

But it's not just the beautiful products that make Hydie Blooms special; it's the atmosphere that Lauren has cultivated. Walking into the store feels like stepping into a haven of creativity and warmth. Lauren and her team offer friendly service and genuine care for customers, every visit a delightful experience. 

Hydie Blooms is more than just a florist and gift store; it's a reflection of Lauren Kiss's love for her hometown and her desire to create something beautiful and meaningful for the people of Mooroopna.
