‘Sustainability is about asking a lot of questions, all of the time!’ –  Q&A with Botany florist and owner, Ellen Douglas

A woman with long red hair stands at the right side of the frame, facing the left. She wears a long terracotta coloured jacket and white pants, she is smiling and looking downward at a dried floral arrangement she holds. The flowers are dried grasses, with earthy toned dried straw flowers, in yellows, and oranges. There is also dried hydrangea and thistle.

It’s crazy to think that in an industry known for working with natures own beauty, the promotion of sustainability is not widespread. With a commitment to sustainable floristry comes the desire to find our florist friends striving for the same positive outcomes, our fellow champions in the flower fields, the wielders of stems, the cheerleaders valiantly cheering us on with foliage pom poms.
