Eco-Friendly Composting Initiatives

Sustainability starts with the soil. We have partnered with Food Loops, a renowned local vendor, to implement a groundbreaking composting program. Composting green waste from our floral designs nourishes the earth and reduces landfill waste. This initiative helps us maintain the natural beauty of Northwest Arkansas while supporting local sustainability efforts.

Cardboard Recycling

Sustainability extends to our packaging as well. At Rose of Sharon, we conscientiously recycle all cardboard materials. This practice significantly reduces our carbon footprint and supports a cleaner, greener Northwest Arkansas. Recycling cardboard ensures that every aspect of our floral delivery contributes positively to the environment, reflecting our commitment to ecological responsibility.

Vase Reuse Program

Our vase reuse program invites our clients to partake in our sustainability journey. Customers are encouraged to return or reuse their floral vases, reducing waste and promoting a cycle of reuse that complements our sustainable ethos. This initiative conserves resources and offers our clients a way to be actively involved in environmental conservation.

Locally Sourced Flowers

At Rose of Sharon Floral Design Studio, we prioritize using locally sourced flowers whenever possible. By choosing local blooms, we support the vibrant agricultural community of Northwest Arkansas and reduce the environmental impact associated with long-distance flower transportation. This commitment helps us ensure that our floral arrangements are fresh, beautiful, and sustainably sourced.

Minimizing Floral Foam Use

We are dedicated to reducing our use of floral foam, a common but non-biodegradable product used in the industry for arranging flowers. At Rose of Sharon, we minimize or completely eliminate the need for floral foam in our event florals. Our designers are skilled in creating stunning arrangements that rely on more sustainable materials, ensuring our environmental footprint is as delicate as the flowers we arrange.
