At Archway Florist, we know that the beauty of flowers goes beyond their vibrant colours and delicate scents – it’s also about the care and responsibility we show towards our environment. With every bouquet, arrangement, and delivery, our focus is on sustainability. Many of our Archway customers and local businesses express the importance of environmental consciousness, and we are proud to reflect these values in every aspect of what we do.
Floristry traditionally relied on single-use plastics and non-recyclable wrapping. At Archway Florist, we have actively moved away from these materials. We wrap bouquets in recycled kraft paper and use biodegradable string instead of plastic ties. Our vases and containers are either reusable or made from recycled materials. All packaging is chosen for its minimal ecological footprint, ensuring your flowers arrive beautifully presented and with minimal impact on the planet.
We work closely with local growers and regional suppliers whenever possible. By prioritising flowers grown in and around Archway and North London, we decrease the carbon miles associated with long-haul transportation. Locally sourced blooms are also fresher and support the livelihoods of independent producers. When demand extends beyond the local season, we still prioritise UK-grown flowers or suppliers with any eco-accreditation, further reducing our environmental footprint.
Some of our most popular and beautiful flowers come from countries with growing climates beyond the UK. In these instances, we ensure that our flowers are Fairtrade certified. Choosing Fairtrade flowers supports better working conditions, fair pay, and sustainable practices for farmers and workers overseas. It also means that every bouquet from Archway Florist carries a promise of global social responsibility, as well as natural beauty.
Sustainable flower delivery is at the heart of our customer service in Archway. We use a fleet of low-carbon emission vans for our local deliveries. These vehicles are chosen for their efficiency and reduced environmental impact, helping to make every delivery as green as possible. Our drivers are encouraged to optimise routes and group deliveries, lowering emissions even further while guaranteeing that your flowers arrive in perfect condition.
Our commitment to sustainability is echoed by our Archway community. Customers and local businesses alike want choices that are better for the planet – and we’re pleased to deliver. Whether you’re sending a thoughtful gift, decorating an event, or bringing floral cheer to your home, you can be confident that Archway Florist is always working to minimise our impact on the environment.
Sustainability is a journey, and we are always seeking new ways to improve our practices. We regularly review our suppliers, explore innovative packaging solutions, and stay up to date on developments in eco-friendly transport. By making responsible choices at every step, we aim to help create a greener, more beautiful world – flower by flower, bouquet by bouquet.
