Wild, Eco-Friendly Flowers Designed With the Earth in Mind
Meet EcoWilde:
We consider the planet and people in every single step of our process. Our motto is: Love More, Waste Less.
About Chicago’s EcoWilde
EcoWilde Flower Co.’s mission is to bring the wonder of the wilderness to the big city.
We are a small group (an eco-system, you might say...) of visual artists and sustainably minded designers who work together to make floral dreams come to life.
We help couples and companies celebrate once-in-a-lifetime events without making a rest-of-our-lifetime environmental footprint.
Our signature full-circle-floral process ensures that events leave as little waste behind as possible.
In choosing how to stock our tool shelves, we opt for toxin free, reusable tools. We source products made from recycled & compostable goods, and minimize the use of plastics.
We use a fuel-efficient vehicle for transportation, and buy flowers from local growers during the Midwest growing season. At the end of events, we minimize waste by donating, composting, and reusing decor.
In addition to our commitment to environmental sustainability, we invest in social sustainability as well.
Living wages, a healthy and safe work environment, and human-centered production are cornerstones of our business model and set us apart as a hub for creativity, connection, and social good.
