Ethical Blooms
We recently did a post about ethical vegan weddings where we briefly touched upon wedding flowers. Today we’re delving a little deeper to educate you on how you can do your bit when it comes to keeping your blooms as ethical as possible.
The UK spends £2.2bn on cut flowers every year, but just 10% are grown here compared to 20 years ago, when half of flowers sold here were from the UK. This represents a significant environmental problem because of the impact on water resources, the chemicals used in the growing process, energy used on refrigeration and the carbon footprint associated with air freighting.
