At Flowervision Bristol, we believe that beautiful flowers shouldn’t come at the planet’s expense. That’s why we work with growers who practise eco-friendly crop care. An approach rooted in environmental responsibility, ethical growing methods and community values.
Eco-friendly crop care means using natural alternatives to chemicals. Instead of synthetic pesticides, growers encourage biodiversity by introducing beneficial insects like ladybirds or using animals such as chickens and cats to keep greenhouses clean and pest-free. This not only protects the plants but helps sustain surrounding ecosystems.
Water conservation is another key part of sustainable growing. Many nurseries use rainwater collection systems and advanced irrigation methods to minimise water waste. Crops are often grown using recycled materials, with packaging made from over 90% recycled plastic. Some farms even operate energy-neutrally, using solar, LED, or geothermal energy to power their operations.
When treatments are needed, growers choose low-impact options that minimise risk to workers, wildlife, and the wider environment. Certification schemes, like MPS-A or Soil Association Organic, ensure that flowers are grown to strict environmental and ethical standards, giving you added confidence in what you’re offering customers.
These methods also go hand-in-hand with community-focused values. Many of our growers operate as social enterprises or offer training and employment to local people, creating meaningful social impact alongside environmental benefits.
