What is Conscious Floristry and why is it important?
Conscious floristry is a term used by Florada, in place of buzzwords like 'sustainable' or 'ethical' to describe our approach to floristry, which is guided by the seasons and local availability. We only use Australian grown flowers, we say no to carbon-heavy imports, and we minimise waste with our daily processes and packaging. We are always learning and always improving.
Over the past 30 years, modern, commercialised floristry has become increasingly damaging to the environment, which comes as a shock to a lot of people.
The environment is at the center of what we as florists do, so we aim reduce environmental impact, while spreading the word educating as many people as possible on how to make less impactful choices when sending flowers as a gift or creating flowers for an event.
Our mission is to work towards a positive change in the floral industry while providing you with the freshest seasonal flowers available!
Why should I avoid imported flowers?
Imported flowers have a much larger footprint compared to locally grown flowers:
- High resource use and carbon emissions associated with imported flowers
- Imported flowers pose a biosecurity risk and have been known to introduce foreign pests into Australia
- Fumigation and chemical treatments are required for imported flowers to reduce biosecurity risks
- Imported flowers redirect money overseas that would otherwise support local growers and our local economy
- Imported flowers come in single-use plastic packaging to protect them on their long journey, for example, cut orchids and other popular tropical flowers and leaves come in boxes filled with polyester stuffing and plastic vials on every stem (also holding foreign water), creating excessive waste that ends up in landfill
