Bloom: Office Flowers that Cost Less and Last Longer
Words by Nat
Bloom is not your typical flower delivery service. Instead of frequent deliveries of cut flowers that fade quickly and need to be thrown away, Bloom brings live flowering plants to your workspace.
By working on a monthly subscription basis, with regular maintenance provided between deliveries, Plant Designs ensures your displays remain healthy, vibrant, and looking their best at all times, with no onus on you.
Bloom
Living Flowers For Your Office
Fast-fading flowers
Conventional floral services often create a cycle of short-lived impact and the need for frequent replacements. As cut flowers typically only last a week, this approach can be a wasteful and costly way of maintaining a consistently vibrant workspace.
The drawbacks:
- Higher long-term costs to keep your supply fresh
- Frequent deliveries mean more disruption and traffic
- Short-term displays as flowers fade quickly
- A lack of lasting presence or identity within a space
- Throwing away more cut flowers than necessary
The living alternative
Bloom replaces typical corporate flower deliveries with living displays that bring real freshness to your office. By using flowering potted plants instead of cut stems, Bloom creates a more vibrant, biophilic environment that introduces nature and life into your workspace.
The benefits:
- A simple monthly subscription service, with up to 65% saved on costs compared to weekly cut flowers services
- Deliveries reduced by 75% compared to weekly corporate flower deliveries, meaning fewer vans on London’s roads
- Live displays that remain vibrant for 4-12 weeks
- Maintenance visits to ensure a consistent appearance
- A more considered approach to workplace design
- Alive and growing, bringing the benefits of nature into your space
Cut costs, not impact
Bloom offers a smarter solution to traditional corporate flower displays by bringing living, long-lasting biophilic design into your office while reducing ongoing costs. Traditional office flower displays often require weekly replacement to maintain their appearance, and these recurring costs can quickly add up for London businesses, particularly those with multiple office spaces. Combined with ongoing delivery and maintenance requirements, fresh cut flowers can be an expensive, unsustainable way to bring natural beauty into the workplace.
By eliminating recurring flower deliveries without sacrificing visual impact, a Bloom subscription can reduce display costs by up to 65% overall and brighten your office with displays that continue to grow and thrive in your space.
A sustainable alternative
As each display is made to order, we reduce plant waste by making sure to only procure what is needed. These living flower displays are transported directly by road from our suppliers in the Netherlands, helping to minimise unnecessary environmental impact during transit. In contrast, many traditional cut flowers are air-freighted from much further afield, significantly increasing the environmental footprint from source to office. By sourcing locally and avoiding air freight, Bloom offers businesses a more sustainable way to brighten their offices.
To support its living plant displays, Bloom uses Vulkaponic, an innovative, organic growing medium that replaces traditional soil. As a company, we are committed to using Vulkaponic for its sustainability: it retains moisture extremely well and can be washed and reused multiple times, helping plants stay healthy for longer while reducing the need for regular replacement. The longevity of Bloom flowers also means that deliveries are needed monthly rather than weekly. Less regular flower deliveries mean reducing journeys made across London by up to 75%, helping to cut down on congestion and emissions, and support a healthier local environment.
Choose your Bloom style
What is your Bloom style? We offer a selection of display styles created to enhance every type of London office.
Jungle – Perfect for offices looking to create a bold, maximalist statement, our Jungle range is inspired by the richness of a tropical rainforest. Featuring elegant orchids or vibrant tropical bromeliads combined with layered foliage, these displays bring lush texture and colour into your workspace. As part of your subscription, you can also choose to incorporate seasonal display rotations each quarter. Select the size of your arrangement and choose between white or coloured flowers, and our team will take care of the rest. For added impact, our extra-large orchid arrangements create a striking focal point, planted with beautiful white or pink Phalaenopsis orchids and abundant jungle underplanting.
Greenhouse – This range is ideal for offices seeking a minimalist, understated display with a refined sense of elegance. Featuring sculptural stems and a restrained colour palette, these arrangements bring an elegant, natural touch to any space. Available with orchids or tropical bromeliads, the Greenhouse collection comes in a variety of sizes to suit your space.
Connect – As our most subtle display style, Connect is designed to quietly enhance your office environment and bring the benefits of live planting while maintaining open, comfortable conversation spaces. With low-level tropical planting in bowls no more than 45 cm in height, this style is perfect for meeting rooms and is available in a variety of colours.
Colour rotation - Your chosen displays can be rotated monthly between white and colour, colour only, or white only. This gives you the flexibility to choose what best suits your office, whether you want something bold and vibrant or more classic and understated.
