We don't use foam in our daily arrangements. 

We avoid it as much as possible!

Floral foam is made from synthetic, non-recyclable plastic and is created

using a combination of toxic carbon black, formaldehyde, and phenolic foam.

Floral foam will not dissolve in water or degrade in landfills or soil. Instead, it breaks down into bits of microplastics. It can take thousands of years to completely revert into natural elements, and they are a real environmental threat by contaminating our marine life and food chains.

We don't use plastic floral picks.

Plastic floral picks are usually used one time and end up in landfills.

None of our arrangements have plastic floral picks. 

We don't use tape. 

Most are made with plastic-based materials, which means they are made from oil. This makes them a non-renewable resource.

We instead use "Self Adhesive Kraft Tape- Reinforced Brown Paper Tape from https://www.netzerocompany.com/)

We recycle our green waste. 

We recycle more than just our cardboard.

Green waste, also known as garden waste, is organic waste that is biodegradable and compostable. It may include flowers, twigs, leaves, weeds, and grass cuttings.

Our green waste is collected weekly by the City of San Jose. 

San José residential yard trimmings are transformed into organic compost for many purposes, including local agriculture.
