Sustainable floristry is not a new concept and is practiced by many top leading florists and can be defined as a modern movement in the flower business, whereby greener practices are applied to minimise environmental impacts, reduce waste and avoid pollution. Sustainable flowers and products are those whose ingredients (such as dyes, preservatives and carriers) have less impact on the environment, human health and have minimal social, economic and ethical impacts. These sustainable flowers are gaining popularity since it is eco-friendly, has a longer shelf life, minimising the environmental damage caused by conventional flower products. Here are our top sustainable florists in Singapore that are doing environmentally friends florals, which are still high in the creative and beauty stakes.
