Because we cherish flowers and the land from which they originate, we at FloraVina are committed to the sustainability of flowers and protecting the environment. One of our groundbreaking initiatives is to feature stunning seasonal floral arrangements during all of our events and within all of our DIY Bloom Boxes. We are also supporters of protecting the bees that pollinate and provide sustenance to these majestic bulbs and stems that enhance the quality of life of millions of people on a daily basis. With your support, and as we continue to grow, so will our environmental initiatives.
