Today is World Earth Day and I’m wishing you all of my support & courage to continue on your journey towards a greener future 🌱 Unsure how you can help this World Earth Day? Here are some ideas to support you in getting started: Education 📚 the best way to help affect change is by being an open book, learning more, constantly absorbing & changing, and sharing these teachings with others, as it’s is the best way to understand the reason WHY these changes need to happen. Today @earthdaynetwork are running an all day live stream of debates and discussions around some key topics, so why not tune in for one? Volunteering 🙋🏼‍♀️ Look to give back in whatever way you can, maybe by supporting charities and community initiatives who are making an impact locally and globally. This Saturday, I & @salford_city_on_point have organised a local Manchester cleanup and we would love for you to join us! There’s some more details in the link in my bio. Conscious

WORLD EARTH DAY EVENT 🌎 It’s definitely time we gave back to our lovely planet 🌱So posting a reminder that next week, on Saturday 24th April, we will all be meeting up outside the Florist Rookie studio to see what we can do to help! In partnership with @salford_city_on_point, I’ve organised a morning litter picking event in Salford, just near Ordsall Lane, which is one of the badly affected areas for rubbish dumping in Manchester. All of your equipment will be provided, and there’s still plenty of time to sign up and volunteer. Even just half an hour of your time would be so appreciated, it’s a fab opportunity to meet some like minded people, all while supporting the beautiful Mother Nature 💚 Hope that you can join us to help make a difference, please feel free to reshare this post to spread the word. For more details and to register please see the link in my bio, thank you!

Florist Rookie x Local Makers... Theharleythread Fellow Mancunian Harley is super talented at her craft, and I couldn’t help but lust after so many of her textile products 🪡🧵 The lovely Harley studied Embroidery at Sheffield where she honed her skills, and since moving to Manchester has applied her creative expertise to a unique range of gifts & homewares. All of Theharleythread’s creations are unique, one off pieces, and handcrafted right here in Manc. The range of colourful, bold and high quality pieces are stunning, and even more special because of all the time Harley dedicates to each of them. Her punch needle purses are made using 100% cotton yarn, linen, and natural unused offcuts which eliminates fabric waste. Theharleythread is conscious of their fabric choices and the impacts these have on our world, which made them a perfect partner for Florist Rookie’s gift hampers. Thank you Harley and @theharleythread for joining me! Gift Hampers launch tomo
Florist Rookie x Local Makers... NOA NOA is a fully Manchester based and 100% vegan candle brand, founded and run by Natasha. Having reached out to Natasha earlier in the year, I’m in complete awe of the business she has single handedly built. With her kind hearted, dedicated and enthusiastic approach towards being a small business owner, she embodies many qualities that I personally aspire to. I’m so glad to be able to include her candles in my Gift Hampers! NOA’s candles are all handmade by Natasha using natural soy wax and lead-free braided wicks, and scented using a blend of the purest essential oils and cruelty free, phthalate-free fragrance oils. Natasha wicks, labels, pours and packs every single soy wax candle herself in her Manchester studio. She also sources all of her recyclable and biodegradable materials (from product to packaging) from UK suppliers too. As no animal, human or our planet should ever have to suffer for great smelling treats, ever.
Florist Rookie x Local Makers... Born Chocolate Please let me introduce the lovely Nina! And the best vegan chocolate in all of Manchester 👏🏻🍫 This super talented woman has been so warm, kind and supportive throughout my whole journey, and I’m so happy she has agreed to come on board as part of the Florist Rookie Gift Hamper collaboration. The process of bean to bar is a real labour of love which Nina currently runs from Heaton Chapel in Manchester. She sources her beans from co-operatives that work closely with farms around the world, who pay a much better amount for their products.  Once the beans arrive, Nina personally hand sorts, roasts, cracks, winnows (removing the shells), grinds, tempers and then moulds them into delicious bars. She loves experimenting with flavours and using inspiration from different seasons, cultures, trips and foods. Born Chocolate also have an experimental 'Lab' range, which start as limited edition bars, and if popular then they a
