Keepin’ It Local
The floral industry has one of the highest carbon footprints across all sectors due primarily to the common practice of using imported flowers from around the world. As a sustainable florist, from May- October, I exclusively use seasonal, locally-grown flowers from Colorado flower farms. This means that if your heart is set on peonies in August, I’m unfortunately not the florist for you as peonies are only in season in May and June.
Process and Practices
I never use floral foam that is petroleum-based, full of toxic chemicals, and made of microplastics that infiltrate our water. I do not use painted, dyed, or bleached florals. My floral waste is composted and I recycle aLL materials possible.
Additionally, I use recyclable mechanics and regularly upcycle vessels/vases, scour thrift stores and FB Marketplace to purchase items secondhand when possible.
