The Sustainable Florists To Know If you’re looking to make more conscious buying decisions – particularly when it comes to flowers – we’ve rounded up the green florists worth knowing about across the UK. Petalon, London Petalon was founded by Florence Kennedy in 2014, after her husband James wanted to send a bunch of flowers one day and they both realised there wasn’t much choice for arrangements that were beautiful yet affordable. Florence and James began to form an idea for a better kind of flower delivery and Petalon was born, with the aim of offering sustainable flower bunches around London. Petalon delivers two different bouquets each week, with flowers that are as fresh and seasonal as possible, while also focusing on limited waste. All of the bouquet prices include carbon neutral delivery, a donation to Bee Collective and for every 100 arrangements they send, they plant a tree.
