SUSTAINABLE FLORISTRY
A healthier future for people and planet
We’re on a mission to become a more sustainable flower delivery service. Focusing on improving in three key areas: Sourcing, Waste Management, and Carbon Emissions.
LEARNING
The Sustainable Floristry Network
Emma is a proud 2026 member of the Sustainable Floristry Network. An outstanding and essential resource for the betterment of The Plumery and the entire floral industry.
"SFN is a new, independent education organisation for florists... creating a new standard for floristry, based around sustainability principles." - SFN
SFN has developed an education program to support a new generation of florists committed to sustainability.
SOURCING
Australian Grown Flowers
We're committed to sourcing only Australian-grown flowers. This allows us to support our growers, and reduce our carbon footprint. It also means, fresher blooms for our customers.
Our Goals
- At least 90% of flowers used to be grown locally.
- Zero Imported flowers used.
WASTE MANAGEMENT
Packaging
Flowers require protection and hydration for their longevity. And it's important they look great when they arrive at your door.
All wrapping paper, tissue and ribbons are made from biodegradable material. Our clear glass vases can be reused, donated or recycled. The timeless vase shape ensures it's kept in circulation for longer. Biodegradable wet-wraps keep bunches hydrated without the need for floral foam or single use plastic water bags.
Our Goals
- Source 100% recycled paper, tissue and cotton ribbon for wrapping.
- Improve sourcing of plastic-free flowers from our wholesalers. And reuse or properly dispose of any plastic when necessary.
CARBON EMISSIONS
Flower Deliveries
As a local flower delivery service, driving is a necessary part of our business. Delivery offers our customers a convenient and timely way of sending thoughtful gifts to loved ones. However, deliveries create carbon emissions.
Our Goals
- Use only hybrid or electric delivery vehicles, wherever possible.
- Offset our carbon emissions to reduce our footprint.
