Traceability & Transparency
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY ENHANCEMENTS
We partner with the charity Floral Angels to deliver bouquets and arrangements left over from our events to those in the community who would not normally receive flowers. This can include recipients in hospitals, care homes, or other community spaces.
From time to time, as workloads allow, we offer workshops or training sessions for aspiring florists to support the growth of the floral design community.
WASTE MANAGEMENT
As well as our collaboration with Floral Angels, for large-scale events, we work with Com:post who provide our team with compostable paper sacks, which are filled up, collected and then put to good use by being composted. For smaller events or studio waste, we compost it ourselves and ensure cardboard is collected by a local recycling company.
