At Flowers Kensington, our commitment to sustainability lies at the heart of everything we do. We understand that the beauty of flowers is at its best when it does not come at the expense of our planet. We are passionate about providing our Kensington customers – individuals, families, businesses and event organisers – with eco-friendly floral arrangements and sustainable flower delivery options that help limit our impact on the environment while still offering the freshest, most beautiful blooms.
Reducing waste is central to our mission. We have carefully designed all our packaging to be kind to the planet, avoiding single-use plastics wherever possible. Our flowers are wrapped in recycled kraft paper, tied with natural string, and safely nestled in compostable or recycled boxes. For water retention and freshness, we use biodegradable hydration wraps rather than conventional plastics. Every delivery from Flowers Kensington ensures that your floral gift leaves a minimal environmental footprint, letting you express your sentiments while showing respect for nature.
One of the most impactful steps towards sustainability is reducing the distances flowers travel from field to vase. That’s why we prioritise sourcing our stems from local growers whenever possible. Choosing local flowers not only supports British flower farms and reduces greenhouse gas emissions from transport, but also guarantees you fresher, longer-lasting arrangements. Seasonal blooms are at the core of our collections, helping us champion the finest that local growers have to offer and reduce our overall carbon footprint in Kensington and beyond.
Where exotic or out-of-season flowers are needed to fulfil your order, we partner with accredited Fairtrade growers. Fairtrade certification ensures that flower farmers receive fair wages, work in safe conditions, and practice environmentally friendly farming methods. By selecting Fairtrade flowers, we help contribute to healthier communities and environments overseas – ensuring that every bunch we deliver is beautiful, ethical, and responsible.
We understand that how your flowers travel matters as much as how they are grown. That’s why our delivery fleet is constantly being upgraded to include more low-carbon and electric vans. By minimising fossil fuel use on our regular Kensington delivery routes, we help keep our local air cleaner and reduce our delivery emissions. Whether you’re sending flowers to a loved one or decorating your business premises, every delivery is a step towards a more sustainable Kensington.
Kensington’s residents and businesses have shown us that sustainability is a high priority. We are proud to be part of a community that values ethical choices and actively seeks greener options. Your feedback inspires us to keep innovating, investing in eco-friendly solutions, and leading by example in the world of sustainable floristry. Thank you for choosing Flowers Kensington as your partner in making environmentally conscious decisions. Together, we are nurturing a greener future for our neighbourhood, one bouquet at a time.
