Green practices in floral design simply means using products (flowers) and practices that are mindful of the environment and human health. At Botanical Design Studio we incorporate green practices into our daily lives by recycling and using environmentally friendly products to help reduce our carbon footprint. 

There are a number of different things you can do to incorporate green practices into your flowers. For example, you can choose flowers that have labels such as VeriFlora that guarantees growers use environmentally and socially responsible growing methods to produce blooms we love. Or incorporate locally grown flowers which will support local communities. At Botanical Design Studio we have  excellent relationships with local growers that allow us to hand-pick only the best blooms. Another example is to choose floral containers crafted from materials that can be recycled such as glass and metal. Or go vintage, it's romantic and in style. You may want to use some or all of the examples above or come up with your own eco-friendly idea. Every bit (small or large) makes a difference for a healthier earth and reduces our carbon footprint. 

Using green practices is the trend and future in floral designs. More customers want earth and health-friendly options available today. Because of demand and our own beliefs, we support green practices and products. One of our commitments to green practices is to give clients rebates for returning glass vases which can be recycled and re-used.

We continue to look for ways to incorporate more green practices into Botanical Design Studio. If you have ideas or suggestions we would love to hear from you.
