LAST MONTH, we had the pleasure of welcoming one of our lovely clients to our Sussex countryside premises for a behind-the-scenes look at what we do.

She spent time with our team, watching as we carefully selected the perfect flowers and colours to bring her vision to life. From handpicking each flower to arranging them, she got to see the whole process unfold. She told us it gave her a real appreciation for the creativity and attention to detail that goes into every arrangement.Hearing how much her colleagues had loved our previous displays was the cherry on top for our team - it’s moments like these that make all the hard work feel worthwhile.We only wish we could invite more clients to experience it for themselves!#SilkFlowers ...

THE REAL COST OF FRESH FLOWERS.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: fresh cut flowers are undeniably beautiful but their environmental cost is far greater than people realise.Here are 3 of the ways they leave a footprint on the planet:1) Water Usage: Growing fresh flowers is water-intensive. It takes around 10 litres of water to grow a single rose. Multiply that by millions of flowers produced yearly, and the impact is staggering.2) Carbon Footprint: Many fresh flowers are imported from countries like Kenya, Ecuador, and Colombia. The carbon footprint of transporting them globally, via planes, trucks, and refrigerated storage, is immense. In fact, transporting a bouquet of 12 roses from Kenya to the UK produces around 2.4 kg of CO2 emissions.3) Pesticides & Chemicals: Flower farming often relies on heavy use of pesticides, fungicides, and fertilizers, which can harm local ecosystems and water supplies. These chemicals are not only bad for the planet but also for the workers handling them.Switching to silk flowers offers a sustainable, long-lasting solution without compromising on aesthetics. Silk flowers:• Require zero water to "grow."• Have no carbon-intensive shipping from remote farms.• Don’t rely on harmful chemicals or pesticides.• Can be reused endlessly, reducing waste.So why not make 2025 the year you choose beauty that is kinder to the planet… 😊hashtag#sustainability hashtag#switchtosilk ...
