#17 - Sustainability: What it means to us!

In this episode, Sydney & Audrey talk about... Sustainability! On the farm....we only use products on the farm that are safe for us and our dog, Dot! She loves our fertilizing day because it's organic seaweed + fish fertilizer (although we keep her away because she will literally lick the leaves!). We compost all scraps that we can, use beneficial insects, and have a host of electric farm tools from Ryobi. In the shop...traditional flower shops create A LOT of waste! Most US flower farms are good about not shipping their flowers wrapped in plastic, but otherwise that's almost our only trash. We choose to recycle all boxes and compost scraps back on our farm. We don't use any foam - only chicken wire and *occasionally* tape for larger arrangements. We source from our own farm first, and then try to stay as close as we can for a smaller footprint as much as possible.  For weddings...reusable and/or compostable mechanics only! Agrawool, Oshun Pouches, Chicken Wire Burritos, and more! We also try to donate flowers at the end of the event, depending on the couples' wishes.

If you want to be sure to know where your food comes from, you should ALSO want to know where your flowers come from :) **Want to be alerted when a new episode is live each week?
