Happy Earth Day 2009

Here is an idea on how to reduce your impact on the environment. It doesn't take long to develop quite a collection of vases. A birthday, anniversary, Mother's Day and you can end up with many more vases than you need. Why not reuse those vases? Bring in any clean vase that came from Fiori Floral Design and we will give you credit towards your next floral purchase. Reusing vases means fewer vases needing to be imported from overseas.

Do you have a favorite vase that you love to use at home that you would love for us to design something in for an upcoming event? Drop it off at our studio up to a month in advance of when you need it and we will create a beautiful floral in it and return to you in time for your event. You get an even more personalized floral and all of your money goes into flowers.

Little things can make a difference.

Seattle's Only EnviroStars Rated Florist

On this Earth Day 2008, it is good to remember that our actions have an impact on the work we live in. Fiori Floral Design is proud to have been recognized by EnviroStars for our work in reducing waste and limiting our use of toxic chemicals. We are the only Seattle florist with an EnviroStars rating. With a few minor changes, we were able to increase our rating from three to four stars last year.
All of our green clippings are turned into compost by a local flower grower, preventing nearly 50 tons of waste per year entering our landfills. This grower then sells us flowers that were grown with the clippings we provided him.
We are also avid recyclers, producing less than one can of trash per week by recycling as much of our waste as possible. All soiled paper is put into our compost bags and returned to the earth. Wherever possible, we choose chemicals with the smallest possible impact on the environment. Instead of floral foam, which doesn't break down readily in a land fill, we design almost all of our florals in water which results in longer lasting florals.
We are constantly looking for ways to reduce our impact on the environment.
