Eco-friendly Floral Subscription Company, BloomsyBox.com, Introduces New Collaboration with The New York Botanical Garden
BloomsyBox is thrilled to introduce its new collection of exclusive, hand-crafted bouquets created in collaboration with The New York Botanical Garden (NYBG). Inspired by NYBG’s magnificent living collections, as well as the rare botanical works found in its LuEsther T. Mertz Library, The New York Botanical Garden Collection is a monthly flower subscription box featuring one-of-a-kind, custom-designed, hand-tied bouquets. As with all of BloomsyBox’s florals, this stunning new collection has flowers sourced from fair trade flower farms that are Rainforest Alliance certified. The flower subscription box is perfect as an elegant gift for the holidays, Mother’s Day, birthdays, anniversaries, or as a monthly treat to oneself.
“Now more than ever, consumers are looking for ways to liven up their homes and easily send joyful gifts to friends and family,” said Meredith Counts, Business Development & Creative Director for NYBG, “With the NYBG Collection by BloomsyBox, we are able to bring the wonder of The New York Botanical Garden into people’s homes.” The collection is now available through BloomsyBox.com. A percentage of the proceeds from sales of the collection support The New York Botanical Garden’s work in plant research and conservation, horticulture, and education.
The partnership was brokered by NYBG’s licensing agency, Jewel Branding & Licensing.
