Sustainability practices

At this time we cannot in our own conscious call ourselves ‘sustainable’ but we can say we are earnest in our efforts to do so.

We celebrate the unique form of plants that have been grown in a wild garden and the bulk of our flowers are grown locally in Canterbury or New Zealand, many of them in our own garden or in the gardens of our friends and family. We do source a limited amount of preserved and handmade flowers from Japan, China & Italy. The main concerns we face are availability and aligning working within a sustainable model without compromising design and aesthetics .

We have a few items in our hire catalogue that use floral foam but do not use it in our current designs and will not be using it going forward.

Our own gardening method is organic, we collect seeds for the next year and we are careful about our waste, recycling and composting. We recycle and reuse goods in our packaging.

We always aim to buy from local makers and small businesses when we can. We are constantly learning to work in a more earth friendly and fair trade way.

Every day we are adding to our community of friends, florists, growers, farmers, and vendor partners who align with practices to better the environment in their respective industries. We are constantly learning how to better our business in this way, it is a work in progress.
