Our flowers are grown using the highest environmental standards

No pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers are EVER used in the production of our botanicals. We use water-wise irrigation to reduce our water use.

Our harvesting and post harvesting techniques are superior

No chemicals are used to promote longevity- our harvesting and post-harvesting techniques do that for us. All of our flowers are harvested according to each varieties optimal harvest stage. They are harvested directly into water buckets in the cool of the day and are allowed to rest and rehydrate. They are never stored out of water.
