The Flower Power Co.
The Flower Power Co. is a UK-based start-up on a mission to plant 1 billion wildflowers across the globe. They have had success internationally across 7 countries worldwide and are growing every day.
Vertae is proud to be one of their founding partners and has pledged to plant 100m2 of wildflowers in its local area.
These wildflowers will be planted responsibly. Only endemic species will be planted with measures taken to match each species to a specific biome and location. Vertae will consult with botanists and biodiversity experts, as well as local government concerning zoning laws and planting laws, prior to breaking ground on this project.
Additional partnerships are currently being finalized with various individuals, organizations, and structures including French government institutions, local townships, botanists, public and private gardens, influencers, artists, educational institutions, and others.
