7. Seasonal locally-grown florals are always a great option
Who doesn’t love a beautiful bouquet of blooms? Seasonal, locally grown flowers is a more sustainable choice. Some common seasonal flowers in Mauritius in February include frangipani, hibiscus, bird of paradise, and bougainvillea. If you’d like to go for the classic roses but want to keep your impact on the planet low, pay attention to source roses that are locally grown and not imported. Roses are not usually blooming in February in Mauritius, they are also often grown using chemicals and pesticides which can harm the environment and require a lot of water to grow. Consider also the amount of plastic wrapping flowers come in too. Choose a potted plant instead and it will also last longer!
