Sustainable Practices at Kensington Florist

Our Commitment to Sustainability

At Kensington Florist, sustainability isn’t just a trend—it’s part of our everyday philosophy. We understand how important eco-friendly flowers and sustainable flower delivery are to our customers and local businesses in Kensington. Our commitment is focused on minimising our environmental footprint while maintaining exceptional beauty and freshness in each bouquet. We strive to set a high standard in sustainable floristry for our vibrant Kensington community.

Eco Packaging for Every Bouquet

To reduce single-use plastics and unnecessary waste, we carefully select packaging that puts the planet first. All our bouquets are wrapped in recyclable or compostable materials. This includes the use of natural twine, tissue paper from responsibly managed forests, and biodegradable sleeves. When presentation matters, we offer reusable vases, further supporting a waste-free approach. By prioritising sustainable packaging, every floral purchase from Kensington Florist becomes a conscious choice for the environment.

Local Sourcing for Fresh, Eco-Friendly Flowers

One of the most effective ways to lower our carbon footprint is to choose flowers grown close to home. That’s why we partner with British flower farms and regional growers wherever possible. Local sourcing ensures that our eco-friendly flowers require less transportation—meaning lower emissions and longer-lasting freshness. By supporting local horticulture, we also strengthen our community and preserve the vibrant growing traditions that define Kensington’s character.

Fairtrade Flowers: Supporting Global Wellbeing

Not all beautiful blooms can be grown in the UK year-round, so when we source from abroad, we do so responsibly. Kensington Florist proudly offers a range of Fairtrade flowers, ensuring that producers in developing countries are paid fairly and work under safe conditions. Fairtrade certification supports community development projects and responsible farming practices, allowing our global flower partners to flourish while providing you with premium, ethically grown floral options.
