Arena Flowers has spent the last 14 years building up a business that's become the number one ethical florist in the UK. It's done this by using Fairtrade flower growers, paying staff a real living wage, contributing to numerous charities and planting trees. The flower options (all hand tied) on offer are expansive - from lush, luxury bouquets to a more recent subscription service. Here you can choose to get a weekly, fortnightly or monthly delivery of one or two types of seasonal stems and complementary greenery. The bouquet we received was stunning and easy to arrange.
