What makes Cotswold Botanical so sustainable? 

As Cotswold Botanical is a small company doing big things for sustainability, The Good Shopping Guide has awarded Ethical Innovator, a status reserved only for our most ethical brands. Cotswold Botanical’s sustainable floral solutions include beautiful wreaths of dried flowers, which last for years if kept indoors, resulting in less waste than buying fresh flowers over and over again.

Cotswold Botanical mindfully sources each bouquet to champion British flowers where possible, avoiding harmful chemicals and drying any leftover flowers to reduce waste. It is this strong ethos married with personal touches that make Cotswold Botanical a true Ethical Innovator.
