We specialise in ECO-WEDDINGS and will be bringing in several green business practices when we assume ownership of Billie's Bouquet. With both Kevin and Alanna having worked at Capers Whole Foods Markets we have strong values of environmental coservation and we walk our talk!
Here are some of the ways we will be a green business:
1. We will strive to always sell flowers from local suppliers first, that use biological methods such as insects to control pests and minimize their pesticide use. We have personally toured local flower farms to assess their growing models.
2. We will carry imported flowers from suppliers that are VERI-FLORA certified. This is a certification body in Europe that approves ecologically friendly as well as human rights friendly growing practices from developing countries.
3. We will compost all foliage and dead flowers and recycle all plastic, paper and other packaging
4. We will sell organically grown flowers and organic products in the store
5. We will not offer plastic bags through the store. If we carry bags it will either recycled paper bags or biodegradable plastic bags
6. We will use biodegradable garbage bags and biodegradable cellophane and packaging products
7. We offer complete eco-wedding consulting and eco-wedding floral packages.
Watch for more ways we will be a green florist!
