At Barkingside Florist, we believe that beauty shouldn’t come at the expense of our planet. Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, from the way we source our flowers to how we deliver them to your door. As more customers and local businesses in Barkingside choose environmentally friendly options, we are proud to offer an experience that cares for both people and the planet.
One of the biggest impacts a florist can have is in the sourcing of flowers. That’s why we focus on buying from local growers whenever possible. By choosing locally grown blooms, we reduce the carbon footprint that comes from transporting flowers long distances. This not only keeps our flowers fresher for longer, but also supports sustainable horticulture in our community. For varieties not available locally, we select trusted Fairtrade suppliers committed to ethical and sustainable growing practices. This ensures florists, farmers, and workers are paid fairly, and resources are managed responsibly.
We take pride in our eco-friendly packaging, designed to minimize waste and maximize recyclability. All bouquets from Barkingside Florist are wrapped in paper made from recycled materials or biodegradable cellophane. We choose natural twine and reusable containers over plastics and foams. Our packaging is attractive, protective, and environmentally conscious, making your flowers as gentle on the earth as they are beautiful in your home or business.
Sustainability also means making ethical choices. That’s why we offer a curated range of Fairtrade flowers. These blooms are grown under standards that support fair pay, good working conditions, and environmentally responsible farming methods. By choosing Fairtrade flowers at Barkingside Florist, customers help make a difference that goes beyond the bouquet—supporting people, communities, and the environment worldwide.
Delivering flowers shouldn’t cost the earth. Our delivery fleet includes low-carbon vehicles, helping us to reduce emissions across Barkingside. We regularly service and upgrade our vans to ensure they’re as efficient as possible, and we group deliveries to optimize routes, lowering our carbon output even further. Whether your flowers are headed to your home or a local business, we ensure the journey is as green as possible.
The Barkingside community cares deeply about sustainability. Many of our individual customers and business clients actively seek out eco-friendly flowers and sustainable flower delivery. They value transparency and are proud to support local initiatives that protect the environment and promote fair trade. Choosing Barkingside Florist means joining a growing movement for greener living—without compromising on quality or beauty.
We are continuously innovating and looking for new ways to make our flowers and services even more environmentally friendly. We encourage all our customers to join us in reducing waste, recycling packaging, and selecting Fairtrade and locally sourced arrangements whenever possible. At Barkingside Florist, sustainability is more than a promise—it’s our passion and our ongoing commitment to Barkingside and the wider world.
