Flower enthusiasts who may be concerned about the carbon footprint they leave behind when purchasing flowers from overseas, can now buy from one of the few UK companies who ensure their flowers are sourced locally and are totally seasonal.
Wiggly Wrigglers offers a wide variety of locally sourced flowers such as seasonal bouquets and roses, which can be ordered for yourself, or as a gift for someone special. Prices start from £35 and orders can be made either by phone or by going online .
The flowers come wrapped in craft gift paper and a free card is available for your personal message.
Although the courier delivery has to be taken into consideration when looking at the carbon footprint of the service, it is still a lot less than the environmental impact of overseas flights .
The cut flower business in the UK is worth a staggering £1.5bn per year, but only a tiny percentage of companies offer locally grown, seasonal flowers, with most (85 per cent) preferring to import from countries such as Kenya .
Last year alone 19,000 tonnes of flowers were flown in from Africa – equal to 33,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions .
