Sophie Townsend from MeadowSweet Posies receiving the New Forest Sustainable Business of the Year Award 2025

We won Sustainable Business of the Year 2025!

We are excited to announce that we scooped up the Sustainable Business of the Year 2025 award at black tie New Forest Brilliance in Business Awards ceremony! 

The judges commended our sustainability ethos that is at the heart of our business and influences every decision that we make. By using locally grown flowers all year round we have eliminated air miles and minimised our carbon footprint. British grown flowers have been found to have a 90 per cent lower carbon footprint than imported blooms.

Founder Sophie Townsend said: "We are so delighted to have been chosen to win this award in recognition of our determination to making our business as eco-friendly as possible."

We are a small family business and have a small plot that Sophie and her mum grow on in the New Forest and now partner with a larger, family-run flower farm in the South West, offering a year-round nationwide delivery service.
