Cultivating Change: Booker Flowers and Gifts' Charitable and Environmental Outreach
Booker Flowers and Gifts, a beloved Liverpool flower shop, has made a name for itself not only as an award-winning company of stunning floral arrangements but also as a dedicated advocate for charitable and environmental causes. With a strong commitment to both the local community and the environment.
Booker Flowers and Gifts has shown that success can be defined not only by profits but also by the positive impact it creates. In this blog post, we'll delve into some of the remarkable charitable and environmental outreach initiatives undertaken by this remarkable floral retailer.
Planting for the Jubilee (June 2022)
In June 2022, as part of the Queen's Jubilee celebrations, Booker Flowers and Gifts embarked on a heartwarming initiative called "Plant a Tree for the Jubilee." Collaborating with Booker Avenue School, they organized a coloring competition for children, giving them a chance to win an art set and a bouquet for the Queen in their life. The colourful drawings adorned the shop's window, creating a joyful display that the children could take pride in.
What made this initiative even more impactful was the specially designed bouquet, where £5 from each sale contributed to the cause. With the proceeds amounting to £240, Booker Flowers and Gifts generously provided the school with two large trees to plant on their grounds and an assortment of shrubs and bedding plants. This not only beautified the school but also promoted biodiversity by attracting bees and butterflies.
Great Big Green Week (Sept 2022)
In September 2022, the florist continued their commitment to the environment by raising funds for an environmental project at a local school during The Great Big Green Week. Through a raffle and a specially designed bouquet where £5 was allocated to the cause, they managed to raise an impressive £230.
The project focused on sustainability, with children writing letters to the future about climate change. The three best letters received gifts from Booker Flowers, encouraging the students' commitment to environmental awareness.
Christmas Charity Event (Nov 2022)
As the holiday season approached in November 2022, Booker Flowers and Gifts hosted their annual Christmas Charity Event, a cherished tradition among their customers.
This event, featuring floral demonstrations and a gift bazaar, has been an integral part of the community for eight years running.
It not only marks the start of Christmas for many but also serves as a platform for giving back. In 2022, the event raised an astounding £2,000 for two deserving causes, Marie Curie and Joshua Tree, demonstrating the true spirit of the season.

Booker Flowers and Gifts extended their commitment to education and sustainability by participating in Woolton Primary School's Aspirations Programme in November 2022.
Gemma, owner of Booker Flowers and Gifts, gave a compelling talk to Year 6 students about business ownership and sustainability. This engagement didn't just inform and inspire young minds but also left them with beautiful flowers, symbolizing the growth of knowledge and aspirations.
Eurovision Celebrations with a Cause (May 2023)
In May 2023, amidst Eurovision celebrations, Booker Flowers and Gifts organized Eurovision Flower Crown Workshops.
These sustainable Ukrainian Flower Crowns, also known as Vinoks, were created using dried flowers, promoting eco-conscious creativity. The workshops, held in partnership with Love Lane Brewery and Hotel Indigo, included meals and drinks, with the proceeds amounting to £185 donated to the Ukrainian Welcome Centre, which supports those affected by the war in Ukraine.
Supporting Brain Tumour Research (June 2023)
June 2023 saw Booker Flowers and Gifts engage in another annual tradition - 'Wear a Hat with Flowers.' Their fun and charitable event involved wearing flowery headgear and sharing pictures on social media.
Those who donated in-store or via a Just Giving Page were entered into a prize draw to win a beautiful bouquet. This year, they managed to raise £180 for Brain Tumour Research, blending style and compassion.
Taking Care of the Community and the Environment
In addition to these notable charitable efforts, Booker Flowers and Gifts remains dedicated to enhancing the local community and the environment by regularly planting flowers and shrubs in the barrel planters along Booker Avenue.
