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 better for our planet.
We do source a small amount of preserved flowers from japan & china but 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 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 recyclable or 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 perspective.
