At Nine Elms Florist, we believe that beautiful flowers and caring for the environment go hand in hand. As a trusted neighbourhood florist, we’re proud to offer eco-friendly flowers in Nine Elms alongside sustainable flower delivery options. Our commitment to sustainability is guided by our values and shaped by the high standards of our valued Nine Elms customers and local businesses.
A gorgeous bouquet shouldn’t result in excess waste. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to use environmentally responsible packaging for every order. Our flowers are wrapped using recycled and biodegradable materials, such as paper and compostable film, keeping them fresh without contributing to landfill. We also avoid unnecessary plastics and use ribbons and ties that can be reused or recycled. Even our cards and gift tags are crafted from recycled paper, ensuring that every part of your gift is as green as possible.
Supporting our community and local environment is a priority. Whenever possible, we source our flowers from growers in and around London and the surrounding counties. This approach helps reduce ‘flower miles’—the distance blooms travel from field to vase—minimising our carbon footprint and ensuring our arrangements are incredibly fresh. By choosing locally grown and seasonal flowers, we also support local farmers and contribute to the resilience of the local economy.
Not all flowers can be grown locally year-round, so when we select international varieties, we choose Fairtrade certified flowers whenever possible. These stems are sourced from farms that uphold fair labour practices, support workers’ rights, and invest in the well-being of their communities. Fairtrade flowers offer the reassurance that your bouquet is not only beautiful but also making a positive impact far beyond Nine Elms. Ethical sourcing is at the heart of our business and shapes every partnership we pursue.
Sustainable flower delivery is one of the cornerstones of our eco efforts. Our fleet of energy-efficient, low-carbon vans ensures that flowers reach their destination quickly and with minimal environmental impact. Our drivers are trained to optimise routes and reduce emissions, further lowering our carbon footprint without compromising on punctuality or service. We’re always seeking newer, cleaner technologies to improve our delivery process, so you can feel good knowing your bouquet was delivered with the planet in mind.
We know that residents and businesses in Nine Elms value sustainability—and so do we. That’s why we’re transparent about our environmental commitments and work continuously to improve our practices. Feedback from our customers inspires us to innovate and lead by example, from introducing even greener packaging to increasing our range of local and ethically sourced flowers. When you choose Nine Elms Florist, you’re partnering with a business that shares your values and invests in a brighter, greener future for everyone.
From eco packaging and local sourcing to Fairtrade blooms and low-carbon delivery vehicles, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or sending a thoughtful gesture, you can trust that your flowers are as kind to the planet as they are beautiful.
