Taking care of your wreath

To keep your wreath as fresh as possible we recommend the following:

• Soak the moss ring side of the wreath in a few centimetres of water once per week
• Remember to hang / hold the wreath upright for a few minutes after soaking before re-hanging on your door so that most of the water drains away

What do to with your wreath after Christmas

• Remove the copper ring - this can be either given to us for re-use or you can re-use them yourself
• Remove any wired non-perishable decorations - these can be given to us for re-use or you can re-use them yourself
• The twine, moss and all fresh pine/foliage can be home composted.

PACKAGING - 100% of our packaging is home compostable

WASTE - 100% of our waste has avoided landfill

ENERGY - Our electricity is generated at UK wind farms

PEOPLE - We are a London Living Wage employer and our hard-working team is on permanent contracts with paid annual leave and a contributory pension

SUPPLY PARTNERS - All of our flowers come direct from Holland via our supply partner - Hoek Flowers. Hoek are part of the FSI initiative, their 60,000 square metre building is 100% gas free, 75% (so far…) of their energy comes from their own solar panels and they have a 4000 Sq M ‘green roof’ which the University of Leiden are using to research which greens and mosses attract the most insects, birds and bees and what type of green roofs are most beneficial to the environment.
