~ Helping nature reclaim the world ~ Most people are unaware of the size and depth of issues involving environmental sustainability in the floral industry.
There is growing concern for the long term impact on ecosystems surrounding flower farms, the treatment of workers, the potential abuse of energy usage and lack of sustainable crop production methods. In floristry, sustainable design is just approaching the horizon and unfortunately, is not practiced by most designers. Because floral design is driven by aesthetics and cost, sustainable practices are not yet perceived to be a mainstream consumer demand. Folia is going to change that.

The flowers will be Moved regularly to the park this time ..
but then what?
We don’t see the mess. - that’s all I guess
