Navigating Foam-Free Floristry: Tips and Challenges
In today's episode of the Flowery Folk podcast, I chat about the challenges we florists face in moving away from floral foam due to environmental concerns.
Recorded right in my garden, this episode dives into the impact of floral foam on our planet and shares my personal stories and tips for cutting back on its use in floral designs.
You'll hear about practical alternatives like chicken wire and Oshun Pouches, and how to tackle issues like transportation, design tweaks, and efficiency.
Plus, I share insights on other products and suggest taking a gradual approach to saying goodbye to floral foam.
