Absolutely! 

At Westmount Florist, we are deeply committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility. We take pride in offering eco-friendly packaging options with our floral arrangements. 

That’s why we choose cellophane as our go to wrapping. Not only is our cellophane wrapping fully compostable, it is a moisture-proof material that keeps our arrangements and bouquets fresh and protected from any harmful elements. Once you receive your flower delivery at home, simply put it into your home compost bin and it will easily degrade amongst your other composted items.

Additionally, the tissue paper and cardboard boxes we use are recyclable, aiding in waste reduction and recycling efforts.

Also don’t forget that your flowers, once expired, are compostable. Before throwing your flowers in the garbage, think about composting them based on your local composting guidelines.

Our commitment to the environment extends beyond packaging. At our Westmount store, we practice sustainability by composting all flower and green cuttings and recycling our boxes based on the City of Westmount’s recycling and composting guidelines. This dedication to minimizing our environmental impact is part of our ongoing effort to support a healthier planet.

At Westmount Florist, we understand that you want your beautiful blooms to last as long as possible. To help ensure your flowers stay fresh and vibrant, we recommend the following care tips:

• Water Wisely: Keep the vase filled with clean water. Change the water every two days to prevent bacteria growth, which can shorten your flowers' lifespan.
• Trim the Stems: Before placing your flowers in water, trim the stems at a 45-degree angle. This increases the surface area for water intake. Repeat this step with each water change.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Place your bouquet in a cool spot away from direct sunlight, drafts, and heat sources. This helps to slow down the aging process of the flowers.
• Use Flower Food: If your bouquet comes with a packet of flower food, use it! It's formulated to provide the perfect balance of nutrients and to keep the water bacteria-free.
• Prune Leaves Below the Waterline: Remove any leaves that will be below the waterline in the vase. Leaves in the water can rot, leading to poor water quality.

By following these simple steps, you can enjoy the beauty of your Westmount Florist bouquet for as long as possible. Should you have any more specific questions about your floral arrangement, our team is always here to help make your experience just perfect.
