Environmentally Friendly Flowers

Whenever possible, Fresh buys flowers with VeriFlora certification, an international standard that promotes environmentally and socially responsible flower production.

Our plant waste is separated from non-recyclable waste. Plant waste goes to a compost pile in the garden to decompose naturally. Non-recyclable materials are re-used as often as possible.

Packaging materials such as cardboard boxes and newspapers are recycled.

Flower buckets and vases are cleaned with environmentally sound products by the Vermont-based company Seventh Generation.

A portion of the electricity for the Fresh studio is purchased from the Vermont Cow Power program, which turns methane gas from cow manure into useable energy.

We use easily recyclable brown boxes and kraft paper bags for delivering hand-held bouquets and boutonnieres.

To the greatest extent possible, the Fresh office is a paperless office.
