London’s Best Sustainable Florists

You’d be forgiven for thinking floristry is an innately eco-friendly industry – yet there are in fact a number of ways your bouquet may have harmed the environment. Flowers are often flown in from far-flung destinations and put in non-biodegradable plastic floral foam, notorious for its damaging effects. What’s more, approximately 100,000 tons of plastic is produced for the florist world each year, only about 30 tons of which is recycled. Yet eco-conscious botanists need not worry: there are many sustainable florists out there, approved by the Royal Family, A-listers and fashion brands alike. Read on for the ones to know.

Blooming Haus

Sustainability lies at the heart of Battersea-based florist Blooming Haus. Launched in 2014 by florist Michal Kowalski and sustainability engineer Michael D, the florist is known for its use of rare flowers and unusual plants, which are foraged by a team of ‘floral engineers’. Its environmental practices are impressive: all organic waste is composted, floral foams are avoided and flower buckets are returned to suppliers after delivery. The studio also runs on green energy, and all vehicles used are electric. Planning a wedding? Pick Blooming Haus as your florist, and they’ll plant a tree in your honour. bloominghaus.com

McQueens

Since beginning its life as a tiny shop in Shoreditch in 1991, McQueens Flowers has become one of the world’s most prestigious internationally-acclaimed florists. You’ll spot its fashion-forward, design-led displays in top London hotels, but the florist also creates some of the most striking hand-tied bouquets around. Not only this, but McQueens is the only florist to be a recipient of the Positive Luxury Butterfly Mark, which celebrates luxury brands who make continued commitments towards sustainable practices. These include efforts to reduce waste, responsibly consume energy and eliminate the use of unsustainable materials. mcqueens.co.uk

Moyses Stevens

It may have been around since 1876, but Moyses Stevens is one of the most forward-thinking florists around. All flowers are sustainably harvested from specialist growers and organic farms across the UK – and deliveries are received directly, cutting out the middlemen. The florist is renowned for its high standards – highlighted by the fact that it currently holds a royal warrant from HRH The Prince of Wales. moysesflowers.co.uk

JamJar Flowers

The idea for JamJar Flowers started in founder Melissa Richardson’s Sussex home, where she would collect wildflowers from the woods and arrange them in jam jars on the kitchen table. In 2009 she turned her passion into a business, and so JamJar Flowers was born. The company grew – they now operate from a Dickensian-inspired studio in Kennington and create displays for lavish places like Sketch and Chiltern Firehouse – but the simple, unfussy principles remain. Seasonal bouquets come in an array of colours, presented in jam jars, pickle jars, giant jars and enamel buckets. jamjarflowers.co.uk

Wild Things Flowers

There are no rules for self-taught designer Louise Bermingham, founder of Mayfair florist Wild Things Flowers. Her designs are – as the name suggests – wild: free from the traditional boundaries of flower arrangement. The result? Beautiful, unique blooms, with names like ‘The Brightest Star’ and ‘Lilac Skies’. Flowers are grown in Louise’s carbon-friendly cutting garden, which avoids the use of both agrochemicals and floral foam, renowned for having a negative effect on the environment. wildthingsflowers.co.uk

Flowerbx

Founders Whitney Bromberg Hawkings and Adam Wilkie worked at Tom Ford for 20 years before launching Flowerbx, so you can guarantee the sleekest of bouquets. Aside from the aesthetics, you can rest assured all flowers are sourced directly from sustainable growers – and any green waste the florist produces is composted. Bouquets arrive at your door in recyclable boxes, and you can opt for same day zero emission deliveries. flowerbx.com

Paul Thomas Flowers

When Paul Thomas opened his eponymous flower shop in Mayfair’s Shepherd Market in 1989, it quickly became a hub for locals, with neighbours and clients regularly popping in for a chat while ordering a bouquet. The community feel lives on to this day – albeit alongside a handful of royal clients: Paul Thomas Flowers has supplied blooms to some of the world’s most exclusive parties and celebrations, including royal weddings. You can also find its elegant Edwardian-style designs at The Ritz, which are particularly impressive during the festive period. Yet behind all this glitz and glamour lies a dedication to the planet. Each day one or more of the team go to the New Covent Garden Flower Market to find seasonal English garden foliage, and the use of floral foam is reduced as much as possible. paulthomasflowers.co.uk
