How can I enjoy flowers more sustainably?

To enjoy your flowers more sustainably, start by maximising the vase life of your bouquet. Place it in a cool spot away from direct sunlight, draughts and ripening fruit, which releases ethylene. Every three days, clean the vase with an environmentally friendly product, replace the water and trim the stems. Remove individual flowers as they fade. Some flowers can then be dried and, depending on the variety, you may also be able to collect seeds or take cuttings.
