At Flowers North Kensington, sustainability is more than just a trend – it is an essential part of our business philosophy. We understand how important it is for our customers and the wider North Kensington community to make environmentally responsible choices. That’s why we have designed our practices around reducing our carbon footprint, supporting ethical trade, and preserving the planet’s natural beauty through every bouquet we create and deliver.
We believe the journey of every stem, from growers to homes and offices, shapes its environmental impact. That’s why we prioritise local sourcing wherever possible. By working closely with British growers and reputable regional suppliers, we can provide fresh, vibrant flowers with drastically reduced transportation emissions. When we do source international varieties, we make it our priority to choose Fairtrade-certified growers. This ensures that not only are our flowers beautiful, but they are also ethically farmed and fairly traded, supporting the well-being of farming communities worldwide.
Plastic waste is a significant challenge for the floristry industry. At Flowers North Kensington, we have taken decisive steps to phase out single-use plastics from our flower packaging. Instead, we use recyclable, biodegradable, or compostable materials, such as kraft paper, natural jute twine, and plant-based cellophane alternatives. Our arrangements arrive wrapped and presented as beautifully as ever, but without harming the environment.
Supporting Fairtrade is at the core of our sustainable values. Many of our bouquets feature Fairtrade certified roses, lilies, and seasonal blooms, assuring you that every purchase contributes to better wages, safer working conditions, and fair opportunities for the growers. Choosing Fairtrade flowers means your gift spreads joy far beyond North Kensington—nurturing communities and safeguarding the future of flower farming worldwide.
Our commitment to sustainable flower delivery in North Kensington extends to the way we get your blooms to your door. We operate a fleet of energy-efficient, low-emission vans for every delivery. Route planning software helps us reduce unnecessary mileage, further decreasing our carbon output. For select local deliveries, we also offer bicycle courier options—guaranteeing a truly green delivery from petal to vase.
Sustainability is something our North Kensington customers and local businesses deeply value. Whether sending flowers to a friend, brightening up your workspace, or planning an event, our clients consistently tell us how much they appreciate our eco-friendly approach. We are proud to support the neighbourhood’s shift towards conscious consumption and greener choices every day.
We know there is always more to learn and improve. That’s why we are continually reviewing our processes and exploring new ways to make our business even more sustainable. From composting unused stems to investing in green energy for our shop, we pledge to stay at the forefront of environmentally responsible floristry in North Kensington.
