At North Woolwich Florist, sustainability is not just a policy – it’s a passion shared by our entire team and valued by our North Woolwich customers and local businesses. Our mission is to bring beauty and joy through eco-friendly flowers and sustainable flower delivery across North Woolwich, without compromising on the health of our planet.
The journey to sustainability starts with the flowers themselves. We prioritise local sourcing whenever possible, working closely with trusted British growers to select the freshest seasonal blooms. These locally grown flowers don’t just reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transport, but also support the regional economy and ensure unmatched freshness for our arrangements. When local flowers aren’t available, we turn to certified Fairtrade growers, ensuring fair wages and safe working conditions for farm workers worldwide. This commitment means our flowers look good, do good, and feel good too.
Our dedication to sustainability continues with our packaging choices. Traditional floristry often relies on single-use plastics and non-recyclable materials. At North Woolwich Florist, we’ve transitioned to eco packaging for all orders. Our wraps, ribbons, and boxes are made from recycled, biodegradable, or compostable materials. We avoid unnecessary plastic wherever possible and always seek new ways to innovate, so your beautiful blooms arrive with minimal environmental impact. Even our greeting cards and care instructions are printed on recycled paper using eco-friendly inks.
We recognise the impact delivery vehicles can have on urban air quality and climate change. That’s why North Woolwich Florist has invested in a fleet of low-carbon vans for all local deliveries. Designed for efficiency, these vehicles reduce the carbon footprint of every bouquet delivered, ensuring that your thoughtful gift goes the extra mile for the planet as well as your recipient. Our drivers also follow route optimisation protocols to cut down on mileage and emissions further.
When our offerings include imported varieties, such as tropical stems or out-of-season flowers, we only choose Fairtrade options wherever available. This important certification guarantees that the farmers and workers who grow these blooms are supported by fair wages, good working conditions, and sustainable farming practices. By choosing Fairtrade flowers, our customers support a global movement towards justice and environmental stewardship, right from North Woolwich.
We know our choices matter to our customers. North Woolwich residents and businesses are discerning, responsible, and forward-thinking, and they share our belief that flower giving should be as sustainable as it is heartfelt. Every step we take, from eco-friendly flowers to sustainable flower delivery, is shaped by conversations and feedback from our community. It’s this shared commitment to the environment that inspires us to improve, evolve, and lead the way in responsible floristry in North Woolwich.
When you choose North Woolwich Florist, you’re not just receiving stunning floral designs – you’re supporting a greener present and future. We invite you to experience our sustainable practices first-hand, confident that every order is a step towards a cleaner, brighter North Woolwich. Together with our community, we’re growing a tradition of caring for the planet, one bouquet at a time.
