Sustainability has been from the very beginning a very important pillar in my business - from flower farming to floristry. I am blessed to have the most beautiful office space ever, and over my last 6 yrs in business I’ve become soooo in touch with Mother Nature and allll of its wonders. It is what makes me soo passionate to do anything in my power to protect it. There are so many elements within the floristry world (e.g. the carbon footprint of imported flowers, floral foam, just to name a few) that are horrible for our environment and something we can make a choice about that makes a huge impact. One of the first books I read when I started flower farming described in gross detail the waste in floristry, and I vowed that I would be different. I would find other more sustainable mechanics, I would educate my consumers, and I would challenge the status quo. With that in mind, I sold my FB Garden Bunches in a recycled jar, and I ask that you continue to bring them back to keep them out of the trash and living a beautiful life. When I grow my flowers from seed, I am super contentious of all my inputs and outputs. I use soil blocking to maximize my growing resources and reduce plastic waste, and my seedlings are healthier for it. I do not use landscape fabric or plastic in my field. I practice no till and cover 100% of my beds with flower material. This maximizes my output, while the companion and interplanting offers biodiversity and supports pollinators and the entire ecosystem. As a result, the biodiversity I have experienced and health of my plants have seen amazing results. We ALL can make little changes to make a difference. Just by purchasing local flowers, you are making a HUGE difference. Sooo thank you friends for choosing Freckled Bloom Flower Farm, and returning your jars to the stand 😘💚
