At Forest Gate Florist, sustainability is woven into everything we do. The Forest Gate community has shown a strong commitment to the environment, and we’re proud to support this by providing eco-friendly flowers and sustainable flower delivery across the area. For our individual customers, families, and local businesses, making environmentally conscious choices matters—and we’re here to make those choices easy, beautiful, and reliable.
Sourcing flowers locally is at the heart of our sustainability efforts. By working closely with growers in Forest Gate and throughout the East London area, we prioritise fresh-cut flowers that haven’t travelled thousands of miles to reach your doorstep. This minimises the environmental footprint of our arrangements, supports neighbouring growers, and ensures our bouquets and displays are brimming with vibrant, seasonal beauty. Where a particular flower must come from further afield, we carefully select responsible suppliers dedicated to eco-friendly practices.
We recognise the importance of fair labour and ethical practices in the floral industry. That’s why we offer a wide selection of Fairtrade-certified flowers for our bouquets and arrangements. By choosing Fairtrade blooms, we promote decent working conditions, fair pay, and sustainable methods for farmers worldwide. This not only uplifts communities but also fosters a healthier planet. When you order from Forest Gate Florist, you can trust your flowers have been grown and cut with care—for both people and the environment.
Saying goodbye to single-use plastics is an essential step in our sustainability journey. All our arrangements are lovingly wrapped in biodegradable or recyclable materials. From compostable floral sleeves to recyclable kraft paper and reusable fabric ribbons, we’ve eliminated unnecessary waste without sacrificing style or presentation. Our packaging keeps your flowers fresh and stunning, while protecting the planet for future generations of Forest Gate residents.
Delivering flowers shouldn’t mean increasing carbon emissions. That’s why our delivery fleet includes low-carbon vehicles and fuel-efficient practices. Whether you’re ordering a single bouquet or a larger floral display, your delivery will arrive swiftly and sustainably, minimising our environmental impact in Forest Gate and the surrounding areas. We’re constantly reviewing our routes and vehicle options to ensure flower delivery remains as green as possible.
Our customers in Forest Gate value sustainability—and we’re proud to help meet that expectation. Local residents, businesses, schools, and community organisations increasingly request eco-friendly flowers and ethical sourcing, seeing it as an important part of their values and daily choices. At Forest Gate Florist, we make it seamless for you to celebrate, honour, and decorate life’s moments with arrangements that show love for both people and the planet.
Sustainability is a journey, not a single achievement. At Forest Gate Florist, we regularly review our sourcing, packaging, and delivery options to remain at the forefront of eco-friendly floristry. We’re always open to feedback from our customers and local community about new ways to further our commitment to the earth. Each bunch we deliver is a promise—of freshness, beauty, and responsibility to Forest Gate’s flourishing future.
