Volente's Flower Shop, Delivered

The Flower Shop That Comes to Volente

Volente is a village of about 560 people on the north shore of Lake Travis, where Volente Road (FM 2769) and Lime Creek Road wind down through cedar and oak to quiet coves. Alegria brings the flower shop up the hill to you: seasonal bouquets, delivered to your door on Saturday morning, so the lake house always has something fresh on the table.

Alegria is a family business. Mom picks the stems and arranges every bouquet by hand. The flowers come from the farm to our cooler, get a fresh cut within 12 hours of delivery, and go straight to your door, ready for water the moment you bring them inside.

How Saturday delivery works in Volente

Pick one bouquet a month or one twice a month. We deliver on the 1st and 3rd Saturday, and you choose which Saturday when you check out. Deliveries usually arrive between 6 and 11 AM, and we'll send a text when our family is on the way.

Every bouquet is wrapped in biodegradable paper and comes with flower food, so it can wait on the porch if you're already out on the water.

Delivery is always free. Heading out of town? Let us know 3 days ahead and we'll skip that month at no charge.

Our plans

A garden club older than the village

Volente had a post office as early as 1886, but it only became an incorporated village in 2003, when residents voted 170 to 146 to incorporate. Its garden club is far older. In May 1955, fifteen women from the Volente, Hudson Bend and Jonestown area formed the Anderson Mill Garden Club, named for the mill Thomas Anderson built on Cypress Creek around 1861. The mill ground corn, made gunpowder for the state for two years during the Civil War, and later ginned cotton. Its original site usually lies under Lake Travis, which filled behind Mansfield Dam.

The club built Robinson Hall in 1961 and a replica of the mill, water wheel and all, in 1966, then opened a small pioneer museum in 1972 on FM 2769. When the wheel was restored in 1986, the mill was dedicated to Minnie Anderson Hensel, Thomas and Lucy Anderson's granddaughter, who as a girl carried Volente's mail around the area on horseback. More than a century later, our Saturday flowers come by car.

Meet the family behind Alegria

Our family runs Alegria together. Mom chooses the flowers, arranges each bouquet and handles the Saturday deliveries, and now and then we film a little of it.

Quiet coves on the north shore

Travis County's Sandy Creek Park, at 9500 Lime Creek Road, covers 92 acres on one of the quieter coves of Lake Travis, with a boat ramp, swimming, fishing and a wooded bluff trail. It is also habitat for the endangered golden-cheeked warbler, the only bird that nests exclusively in Texas. The warblers arrive in March, raise their young in the oak and juniper woods, and leave in July.

Down the road, Sandy Creek Marina, with its covered slips and fuel dock, sits at 8714 Lime Creek Road, and Volente Beach on FM 2769 opens its waterpark and lake beach in the summer. Our bouquets run on a season too: whatever is freshest that month is what goes in the vase.

Volente delivery questions

Is Volente inside your delivery area?

Yes. All of Volente is inside our delivery area, from Volente Road down to the coves off Lime Creek Road. On a private lane or a brand-new street? Check the delivery map or message us on our contact page.

What time do bouquets show up in Volente?

Saturday mornings, on the 1st or 3rd Saturday you chose. Deliveries usually arrive between 6 and 11 AM, and you get a text when our family is on the way, so you know when to look on the porch.

Is there a delivery fee to the lake?

None. Delivery is free on every order, Volente included.

How do I keep the flowers fresh at the lake house?

Trim nothing, just add water: the stems were cut within 12 hours of reaching you. Stir in half the flower food now and half a few days later, keep the vase away from sunny windows and the afternoon heat, and change the water every other day. Our flower care guide goes further.

What if we are away for a month?

Let us know 3 days before your Saturday and we skip that month free. You can cancel anytime on the website or on our contact page.
