Park Florist –
the Washington Area’s only Environmentally Sustainable Florist
Green Florist
We
are committed to a sustainable floral industry. We purchase our flowers
directly from the farms that are qualified by their sustainable
environment practice.
We are committed to quality green products. By supporting floral
handling practices from seed to store that allow you to enjoy flowers
and plants that look beautiful and last longer.
With our environmental conscious purchase, we encourage farming
practices that build soil, conserve water and support healthy
ecosystems.
We are committed to protecting the dignity of every human being–
especially the people who harvest our flowers for our suppliers.
Promoting a healthy, equitable workplace that supports farmers, workers,
their families and the community with day-care, schools and non- toxic
and pesticide-free work environments.
We
are committed to working with Veriflora certified farmers, distributors,
wholesalers whenever possible. Our Veriflora vendors are committed to
delivering only the highest quality products, produced with rigorous
environmental accountability while at the same time addressing the
health and well-being of workers, their families and communities.
We
are 100% wind powered. We chose emission-free wind energy, reducing the
carbon footprint of the shop and helping to cultivate a healthier
community.
We
committed to recycling our organic waste. Every day we receive dozens of
large cardboard boxes filled with fresh cut flowers that have been
shipped to us from around the word directly from the growers and our
wholesale partners. These boxes are broken down and flattened and placed
in a dumpster dedicated to recycled cardboard. We recycles even our
flowers. We offer to connect our customers to the community so that they
have opportunity to donate their flowers after events. We use compact
florescent bulbs and energy-star rated coolers in our showroom.
