Did you know floristry has a sustainability problem? Many flowers travel thousands of kilometres, are wrapped in plastic, and are arranged with single-use floral foam and plastic mechanics. But at The Flower Crate, we do things differently. We follow sustainable floristry principles—choosing locally grown blooms, composting green waste, avoiding single-use items, and using eco-friendly packaging. While floristry isn’t perfect yet, we believe every step towards sustainability matters. 🌎 Swipe through to see how we make floristry better for people and the planet! 💐 ✨ #SustainableFloristry #EcoFriendlyFlowers #SupportLocal #HamiltonNZ
