The Concord Flower Shop is going geen!

As a business that depends on the beauty and vitality of nature, the Concord Flower Shop has always been sensitive to how we impact the environment. In fact, we've been a "green" business since before the term was even popularized!

Here are just a few of our many environmentally-friendly policies:

• Local purchasing: We try to purchase as much as possible from local, organic farmers to minimize transportation ... and to support local farmers!
• Environmental growers: When we cannot source supplies locally, we buy as much as possible from growers who are certified to have strict standards of environmental sustainability and social responsibility. 
• Vase recycling: When you're cleaning out your closet and find you have unneeded vases or baskets we are happy to reuse them at the shop. We'll even give you a free rose as a thank you when you drop them off!  
• Box recycling: Our wholesale flower suppliers have agreed to take back and reuse all their large cardboard shipping boxes. 
• Using recycled materials: Many of our vases and water tubes are made from recycled materials.
• Technology: we have updated our I.T. technology which will vastly reduce our use of paper. For example, we can email statements to customers each month instead of printing and snail mailing them.
• Local Deliveries: We use a fuel efficient Scion XA to make deliveries and, thanks to our new I.T. technology, the delivery routes are calculated to minimize travel time.
