Grow Beauty not Garbage

05/05/21 • 55 min

In this episode, recorded on Earth Day, we chat about what we’re doing to grow and show the beauty of flowers while reducing waste, our carbon footprint and the drain on non-renewable resources. We discuss all the things we have learned and tried to improve within our businesses to create more sustainable models and our thoughts and ideas about what other growers, designers, gardeners and flower enthusiasts can do to help improve their practices in the floral industry.
