Eco Valentines ideas 🪴💝

Why not buy a house plant instead of roses this year? You can keep it forever instead of having cut flowers for a week before having to throw them away

Roses in February have a high environmental impact from the vast amount of water used to grown them to the energy needed in the greenhouse to the carbon consumed in the air-miles to fly the flowers to the UK. The impact is huge with 5 flowers gown in the Netherlands having a carbon footprint of 32.252 kg/CO2.
- Gardens Illustrated, 2024

Making house plants the perfect alternative

Or…

Support your local independent Chocolate shop. Not only do they have high quality chocolates that make it extra special but they use plastic free packaging making it a win win

Try out in Moringside
