Our take
Giving flowers has always been a sign of affection and appreciation, but sustainability and care for land and farmers haven’t always been at the forefront of this industry. The Bouqs Company is changing that dynamic by partnering with farmers who prioritise ethical farming practices that minimise waste and recycle water.
It's a farm direct company, a smart move in a world of wilting bouquets and a major disruption to the $100 billion global floristry industry. By connecting farms and a curated network of florists directly to consumers, the company interrupts the traditional supply chains by eliminating overhead costs like warehouses, importers, distributors, and auctioneers. This direct partnership model also helps set itself apart from competitors such as Farmgirl and UrbanStems.
