Eco-Friendly Love Tips
Valentine’s Day generates a surprising amount of waste, so here’s how to enjoy the festivities while caring for the planet:
- Cards & Wrapping Paper: Stick to recyclable, non-glittery materials. Glitter and metallic foil can’t be recycled.
- Flowers: Compost any fresh blooms once they’ve faded. If flowers come in cellophane wrapping, check whether your local recycling service accepts it. Skip the imported roses (which aren’t in season) and choose beautiful locally grown blooms instead. Henley’s independent florists offer stunning seasonal alternatives with a lower environmental footprint.
- Food & Drink Packaging: Rinse and dry containers before recycling to avoid contamination.
By making thoughtful choices, we can reduce the impact on our beautiful town and countryside.

Pro Tip: Locally grown flowers, dried floral arrangements, or potted plants are sustainable alternatives to imported roses and make beautiful, long-lasting gifts.
