Florist Real talk 🗣️
𝗡𝗼 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆… 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱.
Did you know that the floral industry generates 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 of tonnes of green waste every year? From offcuts and stems to leaves and wilted blooms, much of this waste ends up in landfills instead of being repurposed. In fact, floral waste can make up to 40% of a florist’s total waste output—but there’s a better way.
This is what it looks like behind the scenes—stems that don’t sell, orders that aren’t collected, and flowers we can’t resell. Consumer habits have a direct impact on waste, and without proper disposal, much of it would simply go to landfill. Did you know that decomposing flowers in landfill release methane, a greenhouse gas more potent than CO2? That’s why responsible disposal is so important.
At Asteria Florals, we compost 𝗔𝗟𝗟 of our green waste. This means fewer waste collections, healthier soil, and a more sustainable way to work with flowers. By composting, we return essential nutrients to the earth, reducing our impact and creating a closed-loop system that benefits both nature and our industry.

💐🧹 Behind. The. Scenes. 💐🧹
3rd Jan. We listen and we don’t judge…. 👀👀
Organise studio after Christmas… Florist Edition.
👀 💐 🧹
This year my main socials goal is to just show you a bit of everything that happens alongside the flowers ofcourse!
So today.. I’m baring all…
This is a behind the scenes of before and after… that chaos was how I shut the doors on it Christmas Eve.
It was so busy and I was working my other job Christmas Eve too.. so I was home last min orders then get the house ready for Christmas Day for Santa arriving 🩷🩷🩵
It was a throw everything in and shut the door and deal with it in 2025 🙈👀
Well 2025 is here and it needed to be done today. I’ve ignored it long enough 🙈 and I really didn’t want to do it in the snow over the weekend that were predicted 🥶
Being a florist is all about the gorgeous flowers ofcourse but behind the arrangement there’s packaging/ flower food/ paper/ ribbons/ water/ little snippets bucket/ and freezing cold hands 🥶
So I hope you like this little before and after ✌🏻✌🏻
I know I can sleep better tonight knowing it’s much cleaner 🧹💐
PS thank you to my husband who helped incase there were spiders hiding in things 🤪
