At Flowers Barnes, our dedication to sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We understand how important eco-friendly practices are to our Barnes neighbours and the local business community. Every step of our flower journey— from sourcing fresh blooms to delivery at your door—reflects our commitment to a greener, more sustainable future for Barnes.
The impact of packaging on the environment is well-known, which is why we are proud to use eco packaging for every order. Our bouquets are carefully wrapped in recyclable, biodegradable, and compostable materials designed to protect your flowers without contributing to landfill waste. We’ve replaced harmful plastics with alternatives such as kraft paper, plant-based twine, and compostable sleeves. The signature ribbon that adorns our arrangements is even made from natural fibres. By choosing Flowers Barnes, you’re sending not only beautiful blooms but also a positive message for the planet.
Reducing our carbon footprint is a top priority, and one of the ways we achieve this is by sourcing flowers as locally as possible. We work closely with British growers in and around the Barnes area, selecting seasonal flowers that thrive in our climate. This direct relationship with local farms minimises transportation emissions, supports the local economy, and ensures the freshest possible flowers for our customers. By favouring homegrown varieties, we’re able to create stunning bouquets that reflect the best of each season in Barnes.
For exotic blooms and varieties not available locally, we ensure all our flowers are sourced from Fairtrade-certified farms. These farms provide fair wages and safe working conditions for their staff, while upholding rigorous environmental standards. Every Fairtrade flower is grown and harvested with respect for people and planet, promoting sustainable farming and improving lives in growing communities. When you order from Flowers Barnes, you are making an ethical choice that benefits both growers and the environment.
We know that the final step of getting your flowers to your doorstep matters in our collective effort to reduce carbon emissions. Flowers Barnes operates a fleet of low-carbon vans, including electric and hybrid vehicles, for all our Barnes flower deliveries. Turning every delivery route into a greener journey, we’ve reduced tailpipe emissions and cut our contribution to local air pollution. Opting for scheduled, grouped deliveries further enhances our efficiency and environmental responsibility.
Sustainability is more than a trend—it's a shared value within the Barnes community. Businesses and residents alike consistently tell us how much they appreciate our commitment to ethical and eco-friendly practices. Whether you’re sending flowers to a loved one or arranging regular floral displays for your business, choosing Flowers Barnes means supporting a greener, cleaner Barnes for everyone.
