Giving flowers
a future
A force for nature
SFN is resetting ideas about flowers and floral design for a healthy global future. We believe that together, we can transform the world of floristry into a sustainable one.
Modern floral design
is unsustainable
As florists, we love nature, but the widespread use of floral foam, excessive packaging and flying out-of-season blooms across the world are just some of the problems we must tackle.
The problems
The SFN solution is education
The SFN has developed a CPD certified education program to support a new generation of florists committed to sustainability.
