Love Garden Delivery Coloring Page

A delivery person carrying an overflowing basket of flowers and plants combines two charming themes into one delightful scene. The mix of botanical details, a friendly character, and maybe a bicycle or delivery truck gives you plenty of variety to work with. There’s something sweet about imagining someone bringing gardens right to people’s doorsteps.

What colors work best?

Think soft pinks and lavenders for roses and tulips, paired with plenty of greens in different shades for the foliage. A classic red bicycle or delivery van makes a nice pop against all those flowers. You could try a pastel rainbow approach with different colored blooms throughout the basket, or go for a more coordinated look with flowers in the same color family but different intensities. Earthy browns for baskets and warm skin tones for the delivery person help ground all those bright florals. Don’t forget a cheerful yellow or orange for accent flowers like sunflowers or marigolds.

Did you know?

The first flower delivery service started in the 1800s when trains made it possible to ship fresh flowers across long distances without them wilting. Before refrigerated trucks, florists packed flowers in ice to keep them fresh during delivery. Community Supported Agriculture programs now deliver not just vegetables but also weekly flower bouquets from local farms, bringing seasonal blooms straight from the field to subscribers’ homes.

How to color this one

Colored pencils work really well here since you can layer different greens for dimensional leaves and blend petal colors from dark to light. Start with the largest flowers first to establish your color scheme, then fill in smaller details around them. Use a lighter touch on petals and press harder for the basket weave texture. If you’re using markers, color the flowers before the greenery so you can tuck leaves behind petals naturally. A white gel pen can add highlights to make dewdrops on petals or give the delivery vehicle some shine.

Who’ll love this?

Anyone who enjoys gardening or flowers will appreciate the botanical variety here. It’s detailed enough to keep older colorists engaged but not so intricate that younger kids can’t enjoy it. This makes a relaxing weekend activity when you want something cheerful and moderately detailed to work on while listening to music or a podcast.
