At Florist Bankside, our passion for flowers goes hand-in-hand with a commitment to sustainability. Serving the vibrant Bankside community, we know how important it is to choose eco-friendly flowers and sustainable flower delivery methods. From sourcing and packaging to delivery, every step is designed to reduce environmental impact while providing beautiful, memorable floral arrangements to our valued customers and fellow local businesses.
We believe that the thoughtful touch of nature should not end with our bouquets. That’s why all our flowers are wrapped using eco-conscious materials to minimise waste and plastic pollution. Our packaging is fully recyclable, biodegradable, or compostable, reflecting our refusal to use unnecessary plastics. Each arrangement is protected with love and environmental responsibility, so our customers can enjoy their flowers knowing they’ve made a greener choice.
Florist Bankside prioritises locally sourced flowers wherever possible. By working with Bankside and regional growers, we help cut carbon emissions that result from long-haul flower transport. This not only ensures fresher blooms but also supports the local economy and fosters partnerships within the community. Choosing local sourcing allows us to offer seasonal flowers that reflect the true beauty of our region, and means your arrangement arrives with a notably smaller carbon footprint.
When we source blooms from outside our immediate area, we make certain that our international flowers are certified Fairtrade. This guarantees that every step of the journey—from field to vase—follows strict ethical standards, ensuring fair wages and working conditions for growers. By selecting Fairtrade flowers, our Bankside customers can be confident that their floral displays are making a positive impact around the world as well as at home.
Delivery is a significant part of our sustainability philosophy. Our delivery vans are carefully selected to ensure minimal emissions. By utilising low-carbon and fuel-efficient vehicles, we prioritise clean air and reduced congestion in the Bankside area. Our drivers are also trained in efficient routing to further minimise travel distances and the environmental impact of deliveries. Every bouquet delivered is a step closer to cleaner, greener streets across our community.
We’re proud to say that our Bankside customers and the local business community value sustainability as much as we do. More and more, we hear from individuals and organisations who want to reduce their environmental footprint with every purchase—including the flowers they choose. By offering eco-friendly flowers and sustainable flower delivery, we help bring Bankside together in a shared mission for a healthier planet. Thank you for making the choice to support sustainability in Bankside—one beautiful flower at a time.
