At Kingston upon Thames Florist, caring for the environment is at the heart of everything we do. We recognise the value our community places on sustainability and have tailored our services to reflect these priorities. Whether you’re an individual customer or a local business, you can trust that our flowers are not only beautiful but also responsibly sourced and delivered with the planet in mind.
Reducing waste is a vital part of our sustainability mission. Every arrangement from Kingston upon Thames Florist is wrapped in fully recyclable or compostable packaging. We avoid single-use plastics and have replaced them with biodegradable wraps and recyclable boxes. Even the twine and tape we use are carefully chosen for their minimal environmental impact. By choosing eco-friendly packaging, we ensure your blooms arrive fresh and leave a lighter environmental footprint.
We source our flowers locally whenever possible, partnering with growers in Kingston upon Thames and neighbouring areas. This not only supports British flower farmers but also reduces the carbon emissions associated with long-distance transportation. Local sourcing ensures fresher, longer-lasting blooms while strengthening our community’s economy and making our flower delivery services more sustainable.
While locally grown flowers are our first choice, some floral varieties can only be sourced from further afield. For these, we are committed to only selecting Fairtrade-certified and ethically farmed flowers. Fairtrade practices ensure fair wages, safe conditions for workers, and responsible land management—values that reflect the principles of our customers in Kingston upon Thames. Choosing Fairtrade is more than a label; it’s a promise of a better future for both the planet and its people.
Our commitment to sustainable flower delivery in Kingston upon Thames extends beyond our flowers to the very vehicles we use. Our modern, fuel-efficient vans are designed to keep emissions as low as possible.

Every step helps reduce our overall carbon footprint and contributes to cleaner air for our town.
