Take part in our sustainable journey with Flora Nordica and Danish flowers
In a time when sustainability and ecology are becoming increasingly relevant, we at Flora Nordica have made an important decision.
We strive to be part of the solution, not the problem. That's why we've chosen to take the next step and start growing our own flowers, as much as possible.
When summer comes, we will use our own, home-grown flowers in your Flora Nordica bouquet as much as possible. This means that during the summer months we will be able to harvest our flowers directly from our Danish soil.
Sustainability and Flora Nordica
At Flora Nordica, we believe it is our responsibility to make sustainable choices. We are committed to growing our own flowers, which means we can reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to a greener planet. By choosing a bouquet from us, you are not only choosing a beautiful bouquet, but also a more sustainable future.
