How are we doing our bit for the environment?

Our green credentials

We are passionate about the environment and about developing our green credentials.

  • Bouquets and weddings are made to order meaning we have minimal wastage
  • Any flower wastage we do have, we compost and then use the compost the following season. We also have links with dementia groups who sometimes use the flowers with their activity groups.
  • When we do use oasis in our arrangements, the oasis is biodegradable.
  • The cellophane and ribbons used in our gift bouquets are made of biodegradable materials
  • If you are part of our flower subscription service, we provide you with a vase for your first monthly bouquet which is then used throughout your flower subscription
  • We always encourage our wedding couples to repurpose flowers from their ceremony to their wedding breakfast and are happy to discuss potential ways of doing this. We also hold a stock of props which have a small hire charge. We encourage couple to consider these as opposed to purchasing the same items should they be suitable.
  • We collect all our used candles including tealights and recycled candles.

And April 2024 saw us start taking part in a scheme for a new system of green waste removal.

com:post has been created to help the flower industry reduce the amount of green waste it sends to landfill. Using compostable bags the com:post system turns green floristry waste into proper compost which is then used by agricultural and horticultural growers. Sonning Flowers are proud to be partnering with com:post to lessen our impact on the environment. You can read more about the initiative in our recent blog.
