Gen Z, Millennials Choose Sustainable Flowers

Gen Z, Millennials Choose Sustainable Flowers

Some young people are choosing to grow their own flowers or buy local ones for their weddings instead of buying flowers that are flown in from far away.

This helps the environment because it reduces the amount of pollution caused by transporting flowers.

Emily Day, a bride in Canada, grew her own flowers in her front yard and used them for her wedding.

She said they were just as beautiful as store-bought flowers and cost much less.

Growing flowers locally also supports small farmers and helps protect the environment.

Some flower shops are also starting to use more sustainable practices, like composting flowers after events.

However, not everyone is willing to pay more for local flowers, and many people still prefer cheaper imported flowers.
