Planet.
Flowering for the future.
We are committed to putting the planet at the forefront of everything we do.
The way we operate isn’t always the cheapest way of doing things but caring for our planet and delivering against exacting environmental standards is non-negotiable for us. Reducing a negative impact is simply not enough. We want to make a positive impact wherever we tread - from ensuring our packaging is manufactured in the UK and is 100% home compostable to sending 0% of our waste to landfill since 2017.
PACKAGING
We are proud to be a 100% plastic-free florist, using packaging that is either home compostable and/or home recyclable.
Twine - Our 100% natural Nutscene twine is manufactured in Scotland from rain-fed, fast-growing, CO2 reducing crops using traditional and ethical methods.
Our twine can be home composted or re-used
Natural rubber bands - Our rubber bands are manufactured in the UK and made from the sap of rubber trees in renewable plantations in Thailand. The sap is harvested from each rubber tree for 25 years (its productive life), using a harmless process called tapping. At the end of its productive life, the tree is used for timber products. New trees are planted continually.
Our rubber bands can be home composted or re-used
Branded wrapping paper and flower sleeves - Our signature gift wrapping paper is manufactured in the UK from FSC-certified paper with no glossy coating which means it can be composted at home (or put in your home recycling). Our branded Bloomguard sleeves are manufactured from 100% natural and sustainable paper stock and printed with water based inks.
Our branded paper and sleeves can be home composted or home recycled
Paper tape - Our custom paper tape is manufactured in the UK and is made from FSC-certified paper.
Our branded paper tape can be home composted or home recycled
Flower hydration pouch - Our flower pouches are manufactured in the UK and specifically designed for transporting cut flowers.
Our flower hydration pouches can be home composted
Flower food sachets - The flower food powder is completely miscible in water and the paper sachet is home compostable.
