At Levish Petals, we want our customers to know that beauty should never come at the cost of the planet. As florists, we work with nature’s most delicate gifts—flowers. However, the floral industry also has a reputation for being environmentally friendly, which could not be further from the truth. Flourishing actively contributes to its own downfall since imported flowers are a huge seller in the black market while scarce and heavily relied on blooms cultivation comes at an environmental cost due to its pesticides and plastic foam.
That’s why at Levish Petals we negotiate blooms at an ethical price so that we can keep it green. We believe surrendering to non-local peddlers might circumvent us in line but circumstantial measures are not what sustainability requires; it’s strategy matters most. Here’s how it looks like to change your ethical practices for profit guided ones since sprouting is certainly not our wall.
💐 1. Flower Concessions Shifting Towards Licensed Areas
Due to ease of access and transport via flights, imported flowers enjoy their monopoly in every corner of withstanding seaboard circulation littered across multiple countries . While these blooms may appear strikingly alluring adorned wherever holds a hefty carbon footprint through reckless affection along unsustainable plantation meanie strips away any resemblance of good having character they might fleetingly hold.
So here is what inspires me when I find solace among seasonal blooms turning stem for stem packaged towards my home country where I grew upon swapped as treating:
- We partner with small flower farms in our region to reduce transportation emissions.
- Seasonal arrangements ensure less energy is used for artificial growing environments like heated greenhouses.
- Supporting local growers means investing in sustainable agriculture and our community.
Why It Matters:
Flowers grown closer to home are fresher, last longer, and come with fewer environmental costs. Plus, seasonal blooms celebrate the natural rhythm of the earth—something we believe every bouquet should reflect.
2. No Floral Foam – Ever
Floral foam, often known by the brand name Oasis, has been a staple in the industry for decades. It keeps flowers hydrated and holds them securely. However, there is a hidden problem: it’s made from plastic, doesn’t break down in the environment, and releases microplastics into the water system.
At Levish Petals, we do not use floral foam.
Our Alternatives:
- Chicken wire and reusable mesh frames for structured arrangements
- Pin frogs and kenzans (Japanese flower holders) for centerpieces
- Natural moss and twine to secure flowers without plastic
3. Eco-Friendly Packaging
Your bouquet may be natural, but if it’s wrapped in cellophane, tied with synthetic ribbon, and delivered in a plastic sleeve, the packaging might outlast the flowers.
We’re rethinking packaging from the ground up.
Our Green Choices:
Recycled kraft paper wraps instead of plastic sleeves.
Jute twine or compostable ribbon instead of polyester ties.
Glass or ceramic vases for reusable gifting.
Compostable water pouches for flower hydration.
Every Levish Petals bouquet leaves the shop looking.gorgeous—and fully biodegradable.
4. Composting and Waste Reduction
Working with flowers naturally creates organic waste, but at Levi’s Petals, we view this as an opportunity.
What We Do:
- Compost flower trimmings and leaves daily to reduce landfill waste.
- Repurpose unsold or damaged flowers for dried arrangements, petal confetti, or donate them to local organizations.
- Maintain a strict inventory system to avoid over-ordering and flower loss.
Community Impact:
Our composting initiative supports community gardens and local green spaces. It’s a full-circle approach that honors every bloom.
Dried Flowers and Long-Lasting Designs
Fresh flowers are beautiful but temporary. That’s why we love dried flower arrangements, which can last for months or even years and create less waste over time.
How We Keep It Stylish:
- Offer custom dried bouquets and wreaths.
- Use air-dried local blooms and preserved foliage.
- Encourage clients to reuse dried elements in their home decor.
Sustainability Bonus:
No refrigeration, no water waste, and no hurry to discard them. They’re great for gifts, events, or as home decor with a rustic or modern style.
6. Green Delivery Options
Traditional flower delivery usually relies on gasoline-powered vans or cars. This practice increases emissions and congestion in urban areas.
We’re focusing on low-impact delivery options:
- Bicycle delivery for local customers
- Electric vehicle partnerships for larger orders
- Pick-up perks: discounts for customers who choose to pick up their bouquet
It’s a small change that can make a big difference, especially during peak seasons.
7. Educating and Inspiring Our Community
Sustainability isn’t a solo act—it’s a movement. We use our platform to educate customers on how they can be part of the solution.
What We Offer:
- Flower care guides to help bouquets last longer and reduce waste
- Tips for recycling or composting flowers after use
- DIY workshops on creating foam-free arrangements or dried flower art
- Blogs and social posts on the environmental impact of floristry
Our goal? Empower customers to make conscious floral choices that feel good and do good.
8. Giving Back Through Green Initiatives
For every bouquet sold, a portion of proceeds goes toward environmental causes. Whether it’s planting trees, supporting pollinator gardens, or contributing to clean water projects, we want each petal you purchase to have a lasting impact.
We also donate unsold flowers to:
- Local nursing homes
- Hospices
- Shelters
- Mental health centers
Because kindness, like flowers, should be shared abundantly—and waste nothing.
Final Thoughts: Sustainability is a Lifestyle, Not a Label
Keeping it green isn’t just about following trends—it’s about making daily, mindful choices that protect the planet while still delivering beauty, love, and joy. At Levi’s Petals, we’re proud to be part of the slow flower movement, advocating for transparency, responsibility, and artistry in everything we do.
We’re not perfect—but we’re committed. And we’re always learning, growing, and finding new ways to be more sustainable, without compromising on design or emotion.
So the next time you send flowers, remember: the most beautiful bloom is one that doesn’t cost the earth.
