Green Flowers and Being Green

Here at Design in Flowers we love green flowers, but we also want to be green.We want to minimize our impact on the Earth's climate. So, we are doing everything we can to reduce our carbon footprint.

Design in Flowers is committed to being carbon neutral.

• We compost all our flower and foliage waste and use it to improve our soil so that we can grow more beautiful flowers and plants.

• We make sure that all our packaging is biodegradable.

• We are trying to source more of our flowers locally and have joined forces with a local grower to make sure our flowers are not travelling half way around the globe.

• We are keeping our travelling distances to a minimum.

• We are constantly planting trees to offset greenhouse gas emissions we cannot directly or indirectly eliminate. So far we have a woodland area of 35 young trees.

We know that at the moment, our work to improve efficiency isn’t perfect, but we are working on it, and we really do believe that green is the way to go. Don't you just love green!
