How Boulder Blooms Took Eco Friendliness By Storm

Sometimes you just have to roll with the punches. If you’re like the florists at Boulder Blooms in Boulder Colorado, taking the punches isn’t an option.

Jerrica and the team at Boulder Blooms are not your everyday florists. Their passion is to create an efficient, eco friendly flower shop that gives as much to the earth as it takes. They are the recent recipients of the “Zero Waste Business of the Year” award which was no small challenge.

Being eco friendly isn’t always easy. True, there are things everyone can do to be more “green”. Sometimes life throws you a curveball and that’s when your ingenuity and creativity takes over. Boulder Blooms knows exactly what that’s like.

When faced with the task of recycling the little plastic pieces that come on flowers from wholesalers, Boulder Blooms hit a brick wall. Or so it seemed. They found a local recycling center that would take them but only in a very large amount. Instead of backing down or sitting on their hands, Boulder Blooms encouraged other local florists as well as their wholesaler to keep these tabs until the large number was met. That’s eco-effort at it’s finest.

Another crafty idea for Boulder Blooms was to customize a bicycle to use as a local delivery vehicle. Yes–a bicycle. Boulder Blooms’ flower shop is located close to Colorado University (Go Buffs!) so wheeling flower deliveries made more earth-friendly sense. They special ordered a bicycle outfitted with what they needed for delivery and turned the town upside down with their inventive concept.

Boulder Blooms doesn’t stop there. After talking with Teresa and Jerrica, co-owners of Boulder Blooms, I’m convinced that no material is too large or too small for their eco friendly efforts. Every detail from the lightbulbs to the cleaning materials is outfitted with ecofriendliness. These Boulder Colorado florists don’t stop with a passion for flowers. Their passion is also for the earth and that’s something to be very proud of. If you want a florist that shares your pride in a greener world, stop in and talk with the team at Boulder Blooms.
