Flowers & plants

Flowers and plants make wonderful gifts, who is not delighted to receive a bouquet of blooms! But there’s a problem – the air miles! It’s hard to prove if flowers labelled as British are grown in the UK, in fact they may have flown around the world before they get to your vase. We’re sniffing out some options with a low-carbon footprint. You can buy a packet of wildflower seeds to sprinkle and watch them burst into flower and attract pollinators. Or, how about a UK grown houseplant from Harriet’s Plants which arrives in a sustainable pot? These floral gifts are high in ethical values, making them an ideal gift or addition to your home or garden.
