Seasonal flowers

The heart blossoms: the arrangement on the spring design features peony, buttercup, sweet pea, garden rose and bearded iris against a light, mint green background. The design with the late summer flowers has dahlia, cosmos, marigold, globe amaranth, coneflower and clary sage in their full radiance. All of these flower varieties have something in common: they can be grown and picked in natural Swiss gardens. This is in line with the philosophy of the slow flowers movement, which is committed to regional, seasonal and sustainable cultivation and trading of cut flowers. Other principles include avoiding the use of pesticides and not using floral foam or disposable plastic for bouquets.
