eco-friendly

Heavenscent prides itself in being as eco-friendly as possible. There is so much wasted product and many dangerous chemicals used in the commercial florist industry that we decided to strive towards building a sustainable and non-toxic florist.
vases Heavenscent recycles its vases, and collects beautiful vintage vases from all over the world from many eras. We also offer new vases made from recycled glass, which sparkle with elegance, they are designed for the modern arrangement as well as the more traditional. Heavenscent recognizes the importance of recycling glass, as it saves natural resources, and requires considerably less energy than that which is needed to melt raw materials. We also offer discounts to our clients who drop off their unwanted vases at the heavenscent studio!
composting Heavenscent disposes of all plant waste by putting it right back into the earth, our compost bins are filled with all kinds of goodies!
wrapping paper, ribbons, boxes & stationery Heavenscent stationery is printed on recycled junk mail, wrapping paper is made from recycled paper and printed with soy based inks, boxes and bags are also recycled Kraft cardboard, and our gorgeous ribbons are vintage some dating back as far as 1915! All packaging materials such as cardboards are recycled, and non-recyclable products are reused as much as possible.To the best of its ability heavenscent is a paperless office.
cleaning products Heavenscent is a chemical free environment. Vases and floral tools are cleaned with Earth Friendly and Seventh Generation products. These natural cleaning products are only made with ingredients that do not pose any chronic health risks and are safe for the environment.
blooms When seasonally available our blooms are picked from local flower farms in NY state and Vermont. We are constantly searching the globe for flowers produced organically, pesticide free with ethically correct labor practices. Whenever available heavenscent buys its blooms with Veriflora certification, an international standard that promotes environmentally and socially responsible flower production.
