Sustainability
Our commitment to recyclable, reusable, and compostable products for our clients.
“Waste not. Everything must be reusable, recyclable or compostable.”
Recyclable
Our cardboard boxes and wrapping paper are both recyclable at the curb. The plastic bag that holds water for your bouquet is #1 plastic and recyclable at the local grocery store.
Where is my pretty florist paper? Most florist paper is covered with a fine wax and isn’t recyclable in Alexandria, VA. Sorry :(
We use recyclable paper for our business cards and all correspondence.
Reusable
Notice that our C. S. Bouquets do not come with a vase. WHAT?! Who wants a shelf of un-wanted vases? Because we bind the flowers, you can just add the bouquet to your favorite glass or ceramic vase that matches your space and your style. Simple!
To keep your flowers as fresh as possible, simply remove the individual stems as they mature.
Compostable
After your flowers have had their “moment in the vase”, add them to your compost bin or back into the garden.
