At Gardenia Organic, providing an extensive range of high quality, gorgeous, healthy flowers is what we do and this has been our commitment from the outset.
Opened in December 2007, Gardenia Organic was the first sustainable florist in New York. New York Magazine named us ‘Best Florist’ just a few months after opening our doors.
On the other side of the Atlantic we’re pushing the industry to source locally and in season – supporting British farms. Our goal is to use 100% British grown product. We don’t have our own land to grow on, so we’ve searched the length & breadth of the British isles to find flower farms. We have a lot of suppliers, which means a lot of work – but it also means we’re supporting a lot of farmers! So we feel it’s well worth the effort.
It’s not just our flowers that are green. We recycle and compost our own generated waste – glass, organic matter, plastic, paper and cardboard. We continuously ask our suppliers to reduce the packaging they use and to not send us any paper catalogs or invoices.
We re-use as much of our own waste and supply only from sustainable and/or Fair Trade organizations. Our shopping bags, business cards, tissue and wrappings are all recycled and/or biodegradable. We even have vases made from recycled glass.
