Sustainability Commitment at Florist Old Ford
Our Eco-Friendly Promise in Old Ford
At Florist Old Ford, sustainability is at the very heart of our business. We are proud to align with the values of our environmentally-conscious customers, both individuals and local businesses who care about the future of our planet. By integrating eco-friendly practices across our flower selection, sourcing, packaging, and delivery, we are helping to create a greener Old Ford—one beautiful bouquet at a time.
Eco Packaging for a Greener Tomorrow
Our commitment to the planet starts with our packaging. All bouquets and arrangements at Florist Old Ford are wrapped with eco-conscious materials. We use biodegradable sheets, recyclable Kraft paper, and natural twine, eliminating cellophane and single-use plastic wherever possible. This allows our customers to enjoy stunning flowers knowing their packaging can be easily recycled or composted, helping reduce waste in Old Ford and beyond.
Locally Sourced Blooms
As advocates for sustainable floristry, we prioritise sourcing our fresh flowers from local growers and British flower farms whenever the season allows. By choosing locally grown flowers, we can support Old Ford and the wider London region’s growers while also reducing the carbon footprint associated with long-distance flower transport. Our florists select flowers that are at their natural peak, ensuring vibrant arrangements that last longer and have a lower environmental impact.
Fairtrade & Ethically Sourced Flowers
For varieties that aren’t available from local suppliers, we work exclusively with Fairtrade-certified farms. This guarantees that every bouquet delivered in Old Ford has been grown and picked under fair and safe conditions. By supporting Fairtrade, we uphold worker welfare, sustainable agriculture, and fair livelihoods, embodying our ethos of ethical floristry.
Sustainable Flower Delivery in Old Ford
We believe that beautiful flowers shouldn’t come at the cost of the environment. That’s why our flower delivery service in Old Ford uses a fleet of low-carbon emission vans and bicycle couriers where possible. Our drivers follow the most efficient routes to minimise the use of fuel, and our vehicles are regularly maintained for optimal performance and minimal exhaust emissions. By continually investing in greener transportation, we ensure your eco-friendly flowers are delivered in the most sustainable way possible.

Our customers, from local families to independent cafes and creative businesses, actively choose services and products that respect the planet. At Florist Old Ford, we are deeply connected with these values, ensuring our services help Old Ford thrive as a cleaner, greener place to live and work.
