At Flowervision Southampton, we believe beautiful flowers shouldn’t cost the Earth. That’s why we work closely with growers who practice eco-friendly crop care. Combining natural methods, ethical standards and a strong environmental focus to bring you flowers that are as responsible as they are stunning.
Eco-friendly crop care starts with reducing reliance on synthetic chemicals. Instead, growers encourage natural ecosystems, introducing beneficial insects like ladybirds to control pests, or using chickens and cats to help manage greenhouse hygiene. These gentle, biological techniques protect both the crops and the surrounding wildlife.
Many of our growers also invest in rainwater harvesting and closed-loop irrigation systems, dramatically reducing water waste. Some nurseries even run on renewable energy, using solar panels, geothermal heat, or LED lighting to lower their carbon footprint. Flowers are often grown in recycled plastic pots and packaging, helping reduce single-use waste across the supply chain.
When treatments are necessary, they’re chosen carefully. Low-impact solutions help minimise environmental harm and ensure safe working conditions. Growers follow strict certifications, such as MPS-A for environmental performance or Soil Association Organic for chemical-free farming practices. This means your flowers come from trusted, traceable sources that prioritise sustainability from root to bloom.
Many of these nurseries also support their local communities, offering training and jobs,or running as social enterprises that give back. It’s a full-circle approach to floriculture: good for the planet, good for people and good for your business.
