Our Environment

The cut flower industry has huge social and environmental impacts routinely flying flowers half way round the world from farms where workers are exploited and subjected to high doses of agri-chemicals.

Thinking Flowers intends to provide a socially and environmentally responsible, professional and friendly service to its customers.

We want to contribute to creating a better future.

We aim to:
Use sustainably sourced flowers
Pay fair wages
Waste nothing
Use rainwater and fair-trade, organic, cruelty-free products where possible
Reduce the 'flower miles' (especially flower air miles) of the produce we use by sourcing as much locally as possible and growing our own flowers.
Use suppliers with ethical employment policies
Reduce chemical use in growing and in processing.
Serve our customers to their complete satisfaction by:
being sensitive to their conscience, character and needs
being uniquely creative
We aspire to:
use entirely renewable energy in our business.
encourage city dwellers to grow more flowers and learn how to arrange them to improve their domestic and working environments.
support a local community or social project.

We aim to embody our ethics in our work. Without preaching we want to make everyone who sees our displays think about flowers. They will know that our customers have thought about flowers carefully too.
