Did you know floristry has a sustainability problem? Many flowers travel thousands of kilometres, are wrapped in plastic, and are arranged with single-use floral foam and plastic mechanics. But at The Flower Crate, we do things differently. We follow sustainable floristry principles—choosing locally grown blooms, composting green waste, avoiding single-use items, and using eco-friendly packaging. While floristry isn’t perfect yet, we believe every step towards sustainability matters. 🌎 Swipe through to see how we make floristry better for people and the planet! 💐 ✨ #SustainableFloristry #EcoFriendlyFlowers #SupportLocal #HamiltonNZ

Tomorrow is International Women’s Day, so we are taking the chance to celebrate the incredible woman behind The Flower Crate—our owner, Alex Bedford. 💐 With a deep passion for sustainable floristry and thoughtful gifting, Alex has shaped The Flower Crate into the special space it is today. Since taking the reins in 2020, she has poured her heart into curating locally grown blooms, lush indoor plants and carefully chosen homewares—always with sustainability and storytelling in mind. Her passion for beautifully made items is reflected in the carefully curated selection of products that you won’t easily find anywhere else. From locally crafted treasures to beautifully designed pieces, her love of travel leads her to seek out the most beautiful, hard-to-find products, ensuring our shelves are always stocked with thoughtful, one-of-a-kind pieces. Beyond the shop, Alex is a passionate gardener and a devoted mother. She leads with kindness, creativity, and a love for the little details that make all the difference. We’re so lucky to have her at the heart of what we do! 🌿✨ Join us in celebrating Alex and all the amazing women making a difference! 💕 #InternationalWomensDay #TheFlowerCrate #HamiltonNZ #WomenInBusiness #SustainableFloristry #SupportLocal

New from Hunter Candles: A Collection Rooted in Earth & Essence. Introducing three captivating new scents, each crafted to transport you somewhere unexpected: 🍊 No.1 Orange – The beauty of time unfolding. Bright citrus softened with agarwood and saffron milk cap, creating a scent that’s both familiar and intriguingly strange. 🔥 No.2 Reishi – Crisp coastal air, stormy seas, and the earthy depth of reishi mushroom. Violet leaf, pimento oil, and cashmere woods create a scent that’s both invigorating and grounding. 🍄‍🟫 No.3 Shiitake – A walk through damp, mossy forests, where the richness of oak, thyme, and amber blends with hints of jasmine and leather. A sophisticated expression of umami and mystery. Which one speaks to you? Drop by the store to soak in the scents.
✨ “A lovely escape from the real world.” ✨ Step inside and slow down—surrounded by seasonal blooms, thoughtfully chosen gifts, and a little magic. 🌿💐 Whether you’re picking up fresh flowers, searching for a special gift, or simply soaking in the atmosphere, we’d love to welcome you in. 📍 Come visit us and discover your own little escape. #FloristNZ #GiftStore #SeasonalBlooms #ShopLocal #FreshFlowers
