At Flowers Old Ford, sustainability lies at the heart of everything we do. We understand that our customers, whether individuals or local businesses, care deeply about the environmental impact of their choices. As a response, we have designed every stage of our flower delivery process to be as eco-friendly as possible, ensuring that you can enjoy beautiful blooms without compromising on your values.
We are proud to offer our flowers in fully recycled and recyclable packaging. Our eco-friendly wrapping ensures each bouquet arrives fresh and beautiful, but never at the cost of the environment. By replacing plastic sleeves, tapes, and foils with compostable materials and minimalistic designs, we significantly reduce waste. Our biodegradable ribbons, water-based inks, and reusable gift bags mean every part of your delivery is as gentle on the planet as it is on the eye.
Supporting local growers is a cornerstone of our sustainability efforts in Old Ford. Whenever possible, we source seasonal blooms from nearby flower farms. This minimises the distance your flowers travel from field to vase, drastically reducing carbon emissions associated with long-haul transport. Our close relationships with local growers also ensure fresher, longer-lasting arrangements while contributing to the vitality of the community and local economy.
While local sourcing is our first choice, some stems can only be found further afield. For these special varieties, we exclusively use Fairtrade certified suppliers. This guarantees that overseas workers are paid fairly and operate in safe, ethical conditions. Choosing Fairtrade flowers supports communities abroad and sets higher environmental standards globally. When you select an arrangement from Flowers Old Ford, you can be confident that every bloom is responsibly harvested with both people and planet in mind.
Eco-friendly flower delivery in Old Ford goes beyond the bouquet. Our commitment to sustainability continues with our fleet of low-carbon vehicles. We invest in electric and hybrid vans that help us minimise emissions as we bring flowers directly to your door. This allows us to provide prompt, reliable service to homes and businesses throughout Old Ford—without the high carbon footprint of traditional delivery methods.
