Our sustainability efforts include:

• Becoming a Green Alliance Business Partner - committed to reducing our own operational impact and the environmental footprint of our customers. 

• Encouraging you to recycle your Cymbidium vases* for a credit toward fresh flowers!

• Encouraging you to bring back your Cymbidium packaging materials for us to use again (boxes, ribbon, care instruction tags, water tubes, etc.)

• Teaming up with CarbonClick, a New Zealand company, making it easy for people and businesses to help fight climate change.  When you add a small contribution during the checkout process, CarbonClick puts them towards offsets which reduce the environmental impact of the carbon emissions related to the purchase (most commonly freight and delivery services).

• Making our own monthly contributions to CarbonClick to reduce our carbon footprint.

• Utilizing domestic + locally sourced flowers whenever possible.

• Purchasing flowers in their natural state, not dyed, bleached, or painted, as those additional processes aren't environmentally friendly.

• Composting our floral scraps with Mr. Fox Composting and Crow's Feat Farm.

• Changing our packaging to more earth friendly options + reducing our cellophane usage when the weather permits.

• Eliminating the use of floral foam in our arrangements.

• Using plain tap water for our arrangements instead of adding any preservatives.

• Using a reusable compostable ‘eco wrap’ instead of plastic water tubes on loose bouquets.

• Bringing packaging materials (bubble wrap, plastic plant trays, packaging peanuts, etc) to local businesses that can use them again.

• Sourcing products for our shop from companies with similar sustainability practices whenever possible.

• Purchasing office products with the highest recycled contents possible and green non-toxic cleaning supplies.

*Vases must be clean + free of chips and still a style that we currently use in order to receive credit.
