5 eco-friendly floristry sundries perfect for Mother's Day

No longer just a "trend", we have seen over the past few years the demand from both the floristry industry and from consumers for more eco-friendly products available on the market. Many of our florists are making small changes to the products they use in their flower shop to help make a difference to our planet now and help protect it for years to come. Everyone can do their bit and with so many great eco-friendly floristry sundries coming on to the market, we take a look at some of our favourite options available from I.S. Sundries Wholesale that are ideal for Mother's Day.

More and more florists in the UK and worldwide are looking for new ways and simple changes to help the environment. Which is why we are excited to see I.S. Sundries launch StemGem Vases (pictured in rose gold right) in early 2020!

Cleverly designed to be watertight, lightweight, frost proof, easy to clean AND stylish, the StemGem Vases can be reused by the consumer or returned to the florist.

Another brilliant product for all the eco-friendly florists out there, is the Bloomies Box. One of the bestselling products available from I.S.

Environmental friendly flower food

Flower food sachets are a vital part of after care that local florists provide their customers – helping them enjoy beautiful blooms for longer! And now flower power experts Chrysal have launched their 100% compostable powder sachet, it is another small change that is environmental friendly. The customer can simply throw the sachet away after use with garden and organic waste!

Natural Kraft paper and raffia ribbon

We are totally dotty about this Polka Dot Delight Kraft paper for Mother’s Day! Wrap your flowers up in the stylish natural kraft paper with classic green and aubergine dots - which makes a great eco alternative to cellophane.
