FLOWERBX is disrupting the flower industry, as named by British Vogue as a "game-changing flower delivery service". So much more than a flower brand, female-led FLOWERBX is committed to creating positive social and environmental impact, one bouquet at a time, through its unique cut-to-order, zero waste business model. FLOWERBX regularly collaborates with some of the world’s leading brands and luxury spaces, working on bespoke installations, activations and partnerships – with a focus on emulating this same conscious model on a larger scale. Celebrating the thoughts and feedback of the FLOWERBX community, the team strives to put the customer back in control of the way he or she shops for flowers. Offering more choice than a traditional florist, FLOWERBX works with seasonal, responsibly grown, and, where possible, locally-sourced stems. Prioritising people as much as they prioritize quality products, FLOWERBX carefully nurtures progress along the way, too. From hand-picking flower farmers whose ethics align with their own to giving their employees space to blossom at work, FLOWERBX is dedicated to using flowers as a force for good.
