We offer organic, locally grown flowers within 100 miles or less of our shop. We use biodegradable, compostable products. We compost any green material that does not make it into an arrangement. We save any petals that we were unable to use in an arrangement and dry to make handmade papers. We have an organic flower
garden that provides at least half of our flowers during the summer, and purchase the rest from local flower farms within 15 miles of our shop. If we need to satisfy a client and order something in, we will order from the Portland Flower Market. We scavenge for accents such as berries, filberts, fancy grasses, fern, etc. We use recyclable boxes for corsage and boutonniere delivery and fill the bottom of the box with found, natural filler such as lichen. We also offer our couples an incentive for returning those boxes when they are finished. We tag all of the pieces (very fancy), using recycled paper. Over 95% of our shop is composed of repurposed materials. Instead of buying vases to hold our flowers during prep and hydration, we reuse glass jars. That is just one example of the way we reuse everything that we can.
We are eco friendly because we care! Why would we fly roses from South America when we can buy local, fresh, fragrant, and beautiful roses from a farm less than 20 miles from our shop? We have called ourselves 'professional recyclers,' even before going into business together. It is just natural that we operate our business in line with our personal philosophy. Reduce, reduce, reduce, then reuse it until you can't anymore, then go ahead and recycle it
