Our Ethics

At Garden Boutique we try to be as environmentally conscious as possible. All of our products meet at least one of the eco and ethical criteria shown on these stamps and these are used to clearly mark each product.

We’re always looking into new developments in the field of eco-friendly materials and technologies, but we’re suitably skeptical of claims to ‘greenness.’

Packaging

We are particularly careful when choosing our packaging:

We try not to “over-pack”. We want to deliver our lovely products carefully wrapped and packaged to their new homes, but we don’t want any of this to end up in a landfill

We re-use incoming packaging materials where we can.

We use recycled, biodegradable brown paper as padding in our boxes

Where bubble wrap is required, we use AirCap Geo, a biodegradable bubble wrap that has the same physical properties as our regular wrap but degrades when exposed to sunlight for long periods (you can still reuse it for up to two years though, so it’s much more efficient and less disposable than a lot of packaging.)

Anything we absolutely cannot re-use goes into a local authority recycling bin.
