The Great Big Green Week 2022


We are taking part in The Great Big Green WeekWe are proud to be eco-friendly florists who care about the environment and the community in which we live and will be supporting The GREAT BIG GREEN WEEK again this year.


From 24th September until 2nd October we are celebrating action on climate change and are hoping to raise as much money as possible for an environmental project at Calderstones School in Liverpool. 


We are spending the week promoting the issues around climate change.  We will have a 'Green' window display in our shop, and we are revamping the flower barrels outside the row of shops on Booker Avenue.  So if you are in the area of Booker Avenue, make sure you come and take a look.


We are very passionate Florists who care about the environment and love to get involved with helping local charities and schools in the local area.

What Are We Doing?

Plus we will be selling a beautiful Charity Bouquet and will donate £5 from every charity bouquet sold to this worthy cause. 


We hope you can all support us and help raise as much money as possible, which will go towards an environmental project at Calderstones High School, to not only protect the environment but also the community in which we live. 


We are passionate about being eco-friendly, supporting the community and helping the environment at the same time, so we are really looking forward to taking part in The Great Big Green Week this year.

More about the Great Big Green Week

The Great Big Green WeekThe Great Big Green Week is organised by The Climate Coalition.


From 24th September until 2nd October communities across the country will join together for the Great Big Green Week.


Although we could donate our money raised to the Climate Coalition we wanted to support a more local cause. Calderstones School is getting involved in The Big Green Week too, so our partnership was perfect.  Plus it means the money we raise will go directly back into our local community.

Ecofriendly Florists

We have all seen those shocking pictures of plastic filling our oceans. As florists, we feel very close to the Earth and want to protect it.

Right through to our biodegradable oasis, all of our packaging is now eco-friendly, which means that it is easily compostable or can be fully recycled. Once you have finished enjoying your flowers from us, they will go back into growing more flowers!

We also upcycle products where we can, to make our bespoke and unique gifts.


Ethically Minded

To ensure that our flowers are grown sustainably and cultivated by workers who are treated humanely, we only buy blooms from suppliers who are MPA.

It feels good to know that your arrangements will not have been created at the expense of anyone else in the world.

Just as we believe our flowers spread happiness, we also like to give back to our community and also do our best to support local charities and schools.
