A Compostable Funeral Wreath in May

  A 100% compostable Wreath made in early May.
Made from natural materials & zero plastic. All the flowers & foliage were grown here in Galloway, except the cheerful little Viola plugs. ⁠ The Gentleman remembered was a passionate Scottish Country Dancer so as a nod to that, I included a touch of our Heather in the wreath too. ⁠
  No wire, no floral foam & no plastic is required to make a wreath like this. ⁠ Yet it's estimated UK Crematoriums fill the equivalent of 6 Olympic swimming pools each year with floral foam & single use plastic. And that's just crematoriums, even more foam & plastic is left in churchyards & at other memorials.⁠ All that plastic currently goes to landfill. Isn't it time to consider alternative, sustainable methods?⁠
  Next week, I'm excited to be supporting other Members of the Farewell Flowers Directory at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in London. There'll be an inspiring display of natural, compostable flowers for funerals. ⁠ All will be made using sustainable methods without any floral foam & single use plastic.   The flowers & foliage will be British-grown too.
  I'm looking forward to helping spread the word about natural flowers for funerals to a wider audience.⁠ The Farewell Flowers Directory Team are working hard at the showground over this weekend building the display in the Pavilion. I'm looking forward to seeing the result! ⁠
  The Farewell Flowers Directory is a valuable resource for anyone tasked with organising flowers for a funeral. It has details of 200 British Florists able to create arrangements without using plastic, making them much easier to find. ​
