We get our flowers from the field to your doorstep in the minimum possible time so that you can enjoy the flowers at their freshest. Our flowers never sit around in a warehouse fridges using up energy for weeks like many commercially grown flowers. The standard supply chain must keep stems cold for up to 2 weeks, meaning hundreds of hours of refrigeration and the associated energy use. We use cold storage for only 2 days in our workshop, resulting in a lot of energy savings.
We cut only what we can sell. Other providers source from a supply chain that sees 1 in 3 stems wasted. Across hundreds of thousands of bouquets a year, that’s a lot of wasted land, resources, labour and fuel. We ask our farms to only cut what we expect to sell each day so we avoid having lots of waste. When we do have a few spare stems, we donate them to the community in places such as care homes and hospices.
Finally, our farms provide living wages for all.
We use the best practice farming methods wherever possible to ensure that there are no negative impacts on the integrity of the environment. Our stringent conservation and management policy have earnt us our LEAF Mark accreditation. Down on our farms you will see:
