Pollinators like bees may only be tiny but they’re hugely important.
They allow plants to fruit, seed, and breed.
So, the performance of our ecosystem is directly dependent on the survival of our diminutive pollinator friends.
Plants protect the health of pollinators and aid their survival.
If you want to make your garden pollinator-friendly, here are some tips:
Bees see purple more clearly than any other colour making plants like lavender, alliums, and buddleja a good choice.
Tubular shaped blooms like foxgloves, honeysuckle, and snapdragons are good for long-tongued bees.
Most pollinators are active from March to September but some can be active for most of the year so maintaining a pollinator-friendly landscape for each season is important.
And, of course, using natural pest control helps to protect pollinators like bees and butterflies.

Using the right plants protects your garden from pests without the need for damaging chemical pesticides.
When you grow annual plants in your garden, you know they’re only going to live for one growing season.
But, they can be valuable even after they die.
They decompose and add nutrients to the soil preparing it for more planting.
This is a greener process than using chemicals to promote future plant growth.

Using the right plants protects your garden from pests without the need for damaging chemical pesticides.
The roots of garden plants provide more protection to the environment than you might think.
They bind the soil together so it’s less likely that it will wash away in heavy rains.
So, having several root systems in place in your garden reduces the movement of topsoil.

Using the right plants protects your garden from pests without the need for damaging chemical pesticides.
Plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere around them.
They then produce oxygen as a byproduct of the photosynthesis process. This is a valuable attribute given the problems that carbon dioxide causes to the environment and the immense carbon footprint the planet has.
Through their respiratory and photosynthetic processes plants also absorb chemicals and bacteria from the air.
This helps to clean the atmosphere in which we live.

This is why we launched our ‘Plant a Tree’ campaign.
Every time we complete a project, we dedicate a tree to be planted in collaboration with the National Forest, Woodland Trust and Carbon Footprint Organisation.
So far, we’ve planted almost 100 trees in the London area and across the UK.
That’s not all…
Our other sustainability measures are:
Using green energy to power our studio. Partnering with bicycle-based delivery company EcoFleet to complete smaller deliveries including purchases from our online store. Composting all our organic waste. Avoiding using materials that cannot be composted. Reusing flower buckets and delivery packaging. Recycling boxes and packaging. Sourcing as many flowers as possible from local suppliers, thereby reducing the environmental impact of transportation. Using suppliers that work with organisations like the Soil Association and the Rainforest Alliance to quality check supplies. Using probiotic cleaning products whenever possible.
Given our green centric ethos, we’re interested in all the ways plants can impact sustainability.

So far, we’ve planted almost 100 trees in the London area and across the UK.
That’s not all…
Our other sustainability measures are:
Using green energy to power our studio. Partnering with bicycle-based delivery company EcoFleet to complete smaller deliveries including purchases from our online store. Composting all our organic waste. Avoiding using materials that cannot be composted. Reusing flower buckets and delivery packaging. Recycling boxes and packaging. Sourcing as many flowers as possible from local suppliers, thereby reducing the environmental impact of transportation. Using suppliers that work with organisations like the Soil Association and the Rainforest Alliance to quality check supplies. Using probiotic cleaning products whenever possible.
Given our green centric ethos, we’re interested in all the ways plants can impact sustainability.
The focus of this article is using flowers as natural pest control.
But, that’s just the start of the benefits that garden plants can bring…
Gardening Cleans the Air & Soil
Plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere around them.
They then produce oxygen as a byproduct of the photosynthesis process. This is a valuable attribute given the problems that carbon dioxide causes to the environment and the immense carbon footprint the planet has.
Through their respiratory and photosynthetic processes plants also absorb chemicals and bacteria from the air.
This helps to clean the atmosphere in which we live.
For more insights into how plants clean the air check out our blog post.
The roots of garden plants provide more protection to the environment than you might think.
They bind the soil together so it’s less likely that it will wash away in heavy rains.
So, having several root systems in place in your garden reduces the movement of topsoil.
Annual Plants Provide Nutrients For The Following Year
When you grow annual plants in your garden, you know they’re only going to live for one growing season.
But, they can be valuable even after they die.
They decompose and add nutrients to the soil preparing it for more planting.
This is a greener process than using chemicals to promote future plant growth.
Gardening Protects Pollinators.
Pollinators like bees may only be tiny but they’re hugely important.
They allow plants to fruit, seed, and breed.
So, the performance of our ecosystem is directly dependent on the survival of our diminutive pollinator friends.
Plants protect the health of pollinators and aid their survival.
If you want to make your garden pollinator-friendly, here are some tips:
Bees see purple more clearly than any other colour making plants like lavender, alliums, and buddleja a good choice.
Tubular shaped blooms like foxgloves, honeysuckle, and snapdragons are good for long-tongued bees.
Most pollinators are active from March to September but some can be active for most of the year so maintaining a pollinator-friendly landscape for each season is important.
And, of course, using natural pest control helps to protect pollinators like bees and butterflies.
This brings us back to the main theme of our post.

Using green energy to power our studio. Partnering with bicycle-based delivery company EcoFleet to complete smaller deliveries including purchases from our online store. Composting all our organic waste. Avoiding using materials that cannot be composted. Reusing flower buckets and delivery packaging. Recycling boxes and packaging. Sourcing as many flowers as possible from local suppliers, thereby reducing the environmental impact of transportation. Using suppliers that work with organisations like the Soil Association and the Rainforest Alliance to quality check supplies. Using probiotic cleaning products whenever possible.
Given our green centric ethos, we’re interested in all the ways plants can impact sustainability.
The focus of this article is using flowers as natural pest control.
But, that’s just the start of the benefits that garden plants can bring…
Gardening Cleans the Air & Soil
Plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere around them.
They then produce oxygen as a byproduct of the photosynthesis process. This is a valuable attribute given the problems that carbon dioxide causes to the environment and the immense carbon footprint the planet has.
Through their respiratory and photosynthetic processes plants also absorb chemicals and bacteria from the air.
This helps to clean the atmosphere in which we live.
For more insights into how plants clean the air check out our blog post.
The roots of garden plants provide more protection to the environment than you might think.
They bind the soil together so it’s less likely that it will wash away in heavy rains.
So, having several root systems in place in your garden reduces the movement of topsoil.
Annual Plants Provide Nutrients For The Following Year
When you grow annual plants in your garden, you know they’re only going to live for one growing season.
But, they can be valuable even after they die.
They decompose and add nutrients to the soil preparing it for more planting.
This is a greener process than using chemicals to promote future plant growth.
Gardening Protects Pollinators.
Pollinators like bees may only be tiny but they’re hugely important.
They allow plants to fruit, seed, and breed.
So, the performance of our ecosystem is directly dependent on the survival of our diminutive pollinator friends.
Plants protect the health of pollinators and aid their survival.
If you want to make your garden pollinator-friendly, here are some tips:
Bees see purple more clearly than any other colour making plants like lavender, alliums, and buddleja a good choice.
Tubular shaped blooms like foxgloves, honeysuckle, and snapdragons are good for long-tongued bees.
Most pollinators are active from March to September but some can be active for most of the year so maintaining a pollinator-friendly landscape for each season is important.
And, of course, using natural pest control helps to protect pollinators like bees and butterflies.
This brings us back to the main theme of our post.
Using the right plants protects your garden from pests without the need for damaging chemical pesticides.
This is why we launched our ‘Plant a Tree’ campaign.
Every time we complete a project, we dedicate a tree to be planted in collaboration with the National Forest, Woodland Trust and Carbon Footprint Organisation.
So far, we’ve planted almost 100 trees in the London area and across the UK.
