Mornings with Mayesh: Sustainable Floristry Beyond Design Mechanics

Our 2nd Mayesh Design Star of 2023, Heather Sardela of Blossom & Bone Florals, was my special guest earlier this week. We chatted about different ways florists can become more sustainable beyond design mechanics that you may not have thought about like composting, working with local ceramicists, paying living wages, and more. What are some sustainable practices that you incorporate into your biz? Share your thoughts in the comments!

Below are the podcast, video replay, and show notes:
