At Richmond upon Thames Flowers, we believe that beautiful blooms should never come at the expense of the environment. Our community in Richmond upon Thames values sustainability, and we’re proud to lead the way for eco-friendly flowers and flower delivery in the area. Our environmental commitment covers every stage of the process—from sourcing to delivery—ensuring our flowers are as kind to the planet as they are lovely to receive.
To reduce waste, we’ve adopted innovative eco packaging for all our flower deliveries in Richmond upon Thames. Our bouquets are carefully wrapped in compostable paper or biodegradable sleeves instead of single-use plastics. The boxes and ribbons we use are fully recyclable or made from recycled materials, further minimising our environmental footprint. By choosing us, our customers contribute to less landfill and a cleaner, greener borough with every eco-friendly flower order.
We understand that locally sourced flowers not only support Richmond upon Thames growers and businesses but also reduce the carbon emissions associated with long-distance transportation. That’s why we prioritise partnerships with local flower farms, selecting seasonal flowers whenever possible. This approach means our bouquets are fresher, usually last longer, and have a significantly lower carbon footprint. It’s a win-win for our customers, local economy, and the planet.
For special varieties not grown locally, we ensure our flowers are sourced from certified Fairtrade farms. This means workers receive fair wages and work in safe conditions, supporting ethical practices across the supply chain. Fairtrade flowers also promote responsible water usage and minimise the use of harmful chemicals, leading to a positive impact on both people and the environment.
We know that flower delivery itself can contribute to local emissions, so Richmond upon Thames Flowers invests in a fleet of low-carbon vans. These vehicles have reduced emissions compared to traditional vans, helping to keep Richmond upon Thames air cleaner and quieter. As we continue to expand our electric and hybrid delivery fleet, every bouquet delivered brings us closer to our goal of carbon-neutral operation.
The Richmond upon Thames community has shown that sustainability is more than just a trend; it’s a core value shared by our customers and local businesses. Many customers actively seek out eco-friendly flowers and sustainable flower delivery services because they care deeply about their impact on the environment. By choosing Richmond upon Thames Flowers, you’re supporting ethical practices, real change in your local area, and a greener future for everyone.
