We try to use zero plastic packaging in the whole of our business. Flowers are tied with raffia or natural rubber bands, wrapped in either brown or waxed paper and shipped in cardboard boxes sealed with paper tape. Delicate stem ends may be wrapped in damp tissue paper and a compostable bag.

On the whole most flowers do travel well packed dry for transit. For softer stems we do wrap stems in tissue and compostable bags to help keep them fresh.
Before dispatch boxes are stored in our cold room to help put them to sleep before transit.
Despite everyones best efforts delivery delays can happen however flowers in transit for 2 days on the whole suffer no long term damage.

Please unpack your order straight away, snip 2cms off the ends and put straight into clean buckets to rehydrate for several hours, leave the wraps on until fully reconditioned.

Yes! To pre-order please email kelly@bloomingbees.co.uk
