The same thought process of provenience and how our actions affect our world can be applied to flowers. Grow your own flowers, fruit and vegetables and you can live life little more sustainably. We are having a food revolution and so many us are now looking at our food in such a positive way. We support artisan producers, farmers markets, local butchers, our local bakers, organic growers with sustainable production, as well as seasonal and local. We take such care as we consider the provenance of out food. Many of us have taken it step further and keep chickens, grow vegetables and even cure our own bacon. It’s time we do the same for flowers.
You can also support British flowers by sending a british grown bouquet. Here is a list of suppliers.

Over 80% of our flowers are imported and there are some seriously ugly things going on behind the scenes of some of the imported flowers we buy. You can read more about that here.
So I am taking a stand and supporting the British flower industry.
