THE WAR ON GREENWASHING: DAY 6
This is the latest scorecard for online florists as produced by The Ethical Company Organisation and it’s where Arena Flowers get the title The UK’s Most Ethical Florist.
Have a look at the criteria.
Organic Blooms lose points because they don’t use FairTrade flowers (Er.. that’s because they grow all their own flowers here in the UK.)
Organic Blooms lose points because they don’t import flowers…
Importing flowers is ethical?
Then they carelessly drop more points by failing to be Ethically Accredited.
If only they’d paid an annual minimum of £250 + VAT to The Ethical Company Organisation for TECO’s own Ethical Accreditation, it could have been so different.
Paying money to increase your appearance of being ethical is hideous and immoral.
… BUT NOT AS REPULSIVE AS BEING THE COMPANY DEMANDING THE MONEY.
The Ethical Company Organisation are not ethical.
It would be funny if it wasn’t so awful.
I feel a bit sick.

Garden inspired table runner with a tricky glass candelabra . Before I knew better I used floral foam for this design ( back in 2017 I think ) I could recreate it now without foam... without harming our beautiful planet. Working without floral foam is liberating and exciting.

Hanging florals from 2021.
Fresh hops ( from ) form the backbone of this design, scented garden roses provide the soft accents of colour. Floral foam free and utterly gorgeous... even if I do say so myself 🤣

I joined my friends Sophie, Gemma, Roger and Morris on the last leg of their 3 day fundraising walk WalkforWards ( walking 60 miles in 3 days in memory of Sophie and Gemma's parents and raising money for their parents favourite charity East Anglian Children's Hospices) I walked 20 miles from Southwold to Lowestoft ( the last section of the Suffolk Coastal path) - I loved it, the pace was fast (bit scary at the start ), the French Fancies an unexpected delight. My body held up , no major niggles and I slept well last night...but today arggghhh my big toe is throbbing, sore neck & knees, calves screaming, I could go on. I only did one day, I'm so full of admiration that they completed 60 miles in 3 days. I'd love to help them bust their fundraising target so I've shared the link to their Just Giving page in my bio if you'd like to help me and donate a few quid, I know they would be blown away. Walking is so good for you - we're no spring chickens but it's so important to keep moving whilst looking and loving your surroundings; it's good for the mind and body.

Everything home grown ( apart from the peach scabious from ) at the base of the design are some white currants ( I've waited 2 years for these beauts) .

Close up of a arch installation. Kingham Church. Swipe right for the wider shot.
Every arch/installation is different. The mechanics are adapted to work with the location/building. Site visits are vital, the planning process weaves a course that can take several paths. We need to adapt, there are so many factors that affect the finished design.
I'll be running some installation and funeral flower
workshops in the autumn. Direct message me if you are interested in joining me.

Pastels from the garden
It's tough growing flowers. Managing expectations... I plan but then I free form it. I'm not sure that really works in a cutting garden. Mark is disappointed ( love that word , it's so understatedly powerful) that all the flowers are growing upright and in a straight line. I know what he means... we need some rhythm and movement. It's a learning curve I keep telling him .

Perfect peonies snuggling up to a Thyme plant. Love weaving potted plants within the design, they can either be used again for another event or given to guests following an event. Looking at ways to make events more ... sustainable
