About Bumble & Iris

 

 

At Bumble and Iris Flowers, sustainability isn't just a buzzword; it's a way of life.

I'm passionate about the power of local sourcing and sustainable practices, and it's reflected in every bloom I work with.

Proudly, a significant portion of the flowers I use are grown within a mere 20 miles of my home.

Not only does this support other small businesses, but it also plays a crucial role in reducing the carbon footprint

of my business and the floral industry as a whole.

​

I'm dedicated to providing my clients with stunning flowers that not only bring joy but also have a positive impact on the environment. Here are just a few examples of the sustainable practices woven into the fabric of my business:

​

• Growing my own flowers: I employ the least invasive methods possible, including no-till practices and making my own compost. Plus, I steer clear of pesticides to ensure that my blooms are as natural as can be.

• Water conservation: I collect and utilize rainwater, and I even repurpose water from buckets to water my plants.

• Local sourcing: I prioritize locally grown flowers to supplement my own blooms or source from other reputable British wholesalers.

• Eco-friendly packaging: Whether it's compostable materials or reusable packaging, I strive to minimize waste with every arrangement.

• Closing the loop: Flower waste doesn't go to waste! I add it to my compost pile, which then nourishes next year's blooms.

• Educating and empowering: I'm passionate about educating my customers on the beauty of seasonal flowers and the importance of natural arrangement practices.

Together, let's bloom sustainably and beautifully.
