At Florist Barking, we are deeply passionate about our role as a local flower shop and our responsibility to the environment. As more residents and businesses in Barking look for green choices, we are proud to offer eco-friendly flowers and sustainable flower delivery options. Our commitment is rooted in a belief that beautiful floral arrangements can and should be delivered with care for the planet.
One of the foundational aspects of our sustainability mission is the use of eco packaging. Traditional floral packaging often relies on plastics and non-biodegradable materials, but at Florist Barking, we have chosen a different path. Our bouquets are wrapped in recyclable paper or reusable cloth wraps, free from harmful chemicals and plastic ties. Where boxes are necessary, we use only recyclable or compostable materials to reduce our impact on landfills. Even our ribbons and tags are chosen for their minimal environmental footprint, so you can enjoy stunning flowers without the waste.
Whenever possible, our eco-friendly flowers in Barking are locally sourced. We have built strong relationships with nearby growers and suppliers to ensure our blooms are as fresh and sustainable as possible. By sourcing flowers from local farms, we significantly reduce transport distances, minimizing the associated carbon footprint. This not only supports Barking’s local economy but also guarantees that our customers receive the freshest flowers, directly from the field to your door.
For flowers not available locally, we make it a priority to select Fairtrade-certified options. This ensures that the farmers and workers who grow these blooms enjoy fair wages and safe working conditions. Fairtrade flowers are also grown with sustainability in mind, using eco-friendly farming methods that conserve water and minimize chemical use. By choosing Fairtrade flowers, our customers in Barking can be confident that every bouquet contributes to a fairer, more sustainable floral industry globally.
We know that how flowers travel matters just as much as how they are grown. That’s why Florist Barking has invested in a new fleet of low-carbon delivery vans, with the goal of providing the most sustainable flower delivery in Barking. Our vans are designed for minimal emissions and optimal fuel efficiency, with routes carefully planned to reduce mileage and energy use. This approach helps cut down pollution and keeps our carbon footprint as tiny as a daisy.
Sustainability is no longer just a trend in Barking—it’s a value championed by people and companies across our community. We frequently hear from customers who want to make greener purchases and send thoughtful, beautiful flowers in an eco-conscious way. Businesses, too, are choosing sustainable flower delivery for their workplaces and events, recognising the importance of reducing environmental impact in every aspect of their operations. At Florist Barking, we are proud to be the trusted partner for all who value sustainability.
We continually seek out new ways to enhance our eco-friendly and sustainable practices. Whether it’s trialing biodegradable materials or supporting new Fairtrade initiatives, our team never rests in its sustainability efforts. When you choose Florist Barking, you can be confident that every bloom you receive or send is part of a larger commitment to a healthier, greener future for our community and our planet.
