Composting has been part of how oliFLOR works since the company’s early years. Since 2021, our work with Compost for Life has given us a consistent way to compost and track what we divert.
From the beginning, we knew floral foam would never be part of how oliFLOR worked.
We’ve never used it.

Instead, we design with reusable mechanics and thoughtful techniques that support the flowers without relying on floral foam. Our vessels and mechanics are recovered, cleaned and reused for future events whenever possible.
Sustainability has always been part of how we think about the work, from what we use to what happens after the event ends.

"Adding flowers to our community-based compost program is crucial due to their rich nitrogen content. Nitrogen is a vital nutrient for soil health and plant growth, and flowers contribute to the compost's nitrogen balance, aiding in the decomposition process. Composting flowers alongside food scraps enhances the compost's fertility and promotes microbial activity, resulting in nutrient-rich soil amendments. Additionally, flowers attract pollinators, supporting biodiversity and ecosystem health. Therefore, incorporating flowers into our composting efforts enriches the soil and fosters a sustainable and flourishing environment for our community."

Founded by Danielle Curry in 2018, oliFLOR grew from nearly two decades of experience in flowers, events and the hospitality industry in South Florida.
What began with a love of flowers became something bigger: a way of creating experiences with intention, noticing the details others might overlook and taking responsibility for what happens after the event is over.
