Flower Shuttle brings new life to used arrangements - WRAL.com

By Rick Armstrong, producer and Gerald Owens, anchor/reporterRaleigh, N.C. — Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, weddings and funerals keep many florists in business. When the heartfelt emotions that the flowers convey are over, it's typically time for the flowers to be carted off to the dump.Now, "The Flower Shuttle" organizers and volunteers delay that trip to the landfill so that those flowers have another chance to shine.Every Tuesday morning, Raleigh Moravian Church becomes a recycling center for those blooms that have yet to lose their full appeal."Nothing of potential value in the operation is wasted," volunteer Mary Currin explained as she pointed to buckets of flower tubes, rubber bands and preservative packets. "So we recycle the flowers plus the things that come with the flowers."Whether flowers come from florist shops or grocery stores, once they are past their expiration date, the blooms cannot be sold.

Their flowers are seasonal, local and absolutely GORGEOUS. Best of all, their unique business model cuts down and minimizes the waste often associated with florists and traditional flower delivery services. Here’s how it works.The local company operates on a “subscription service with a twist” model, which enables customers to purchase fresh flowers weekly, for just $30 per delivery. Customers can set their own delivery schedule (via their web app) for up to 5 weeks, but are never locked in or obligated to a long term subscription or minimum order. If you just need flowers for a one-off special occasion, that’s no problem. You can also add multiple addresses to your account so you can send boxes to friends, family and clients too. Photo: Bear’s BloomsWith this model, Bear’s Blooms’ founders are able to work directly with B.C. farmers and order only what they need, ensuring there’s as little waste as possible throughout the delivery process. In fact, 95% of Bear’s Blooms flowers come from local B.C. farmers, even in the winter!You might not think of the flower industry as being wasteful, but traditional florists throw away up to 40% of their plants, often because their flowers sit for weeks in warehouses and distribution centres. That’s not the case with Bear’s Blooms; their flowers literally go straight from the farm to your doorstep, helping them stay fresh longer. Also, their delivery boxes can be recycled or returned and reused by Bear’s Blooms, further cutting down on the wasteful p... https://www.vancouverisawesome.com/2019/09/10/bears-blooms-flower-delivery-vancouver/
