THE GREEN GUIDE: How sustainable is this flower delivery service?
What's the story?
Cissy Bullock founded Wildstems in 2017 as she couldn't find a company that sold sustainable bouquets. Ninety per cent of flowers bought in the UK are still grown abroad using pesticides and fertilisers. Bullock's mission was to change this model.
Why should I buy?
Wildstem flowers are seasonal, as well as being grown organically without peat, artificial lighting or heating in Bullock's Cambridgeshire cutting garden. This results in a low carbon footprint.
Why shouldn't I buy?
They can be more expensive than other florists' bouquets.
The extra mile
For sustainability purposes, Bullock only delivers flowers by road within a ten-mile radius of her cutting garden. If she can't supply flowers for you, she will connect you with a local flower grower who can.

Bullock's flower garden in Cambridgeshire.
