About Us
Quilago Flowers: Our Mission
At Quilago Flowers, we are dedicated to connecting the local communities with the exquisite and vibrant beauty of premium Ecuadorian flowers. Our core mission is to foster strong relationships by championing sustainable and ethical practices throughout our supply chain. We draw inspiration from Ecuador's rich natural heritage to provide exceptional blooms that not only enhance spaces, but also embody our commitment to creativity, purpose, and environmental stewardship. Through our diligent efforts, we proudly showcase Ecuador's remarkable biodiversity and endeavor to bring its inherent magic to every home and event across Colorado and beyond.
Ethically & Sustainably Sourced
A cornerstone of our company's mission is the ethical and sustainable sourcing of our flowers. This commitment involves carefully selecting partner farms in Ecuador that provide fair living wages, comprehensive benefits, and robust security for their employees. Furthermore, we prioritize farms that actively minimize their carbon footprint through efficient farming practices and effective reuse and recycling initiatives. It is important to recognize that a significant portion of the floral industry, particularly larger corporations, often operates with practices that degrade natural landscapes and offer inadequate worker compensation. While florists and consumers have the option to support such entities, we at Quilago Flowers offer a conscientious alternative. We have diligently researched and vetted our source farms, allowing us to confidently assure our customers of exquisite, premium flowers cultivated with uncompromising ethical and sustainable roots.
The Beauty Of It All
Why Choose Quilago? We go beyond merely selecting partners who align with our company's values. We're committed to sourcing and delivering the most beautiful, vibrant, and long-lasting flowers available. We don't just seek out exquisite and exclusive varieties for you; we also meticulously manage our supply chain to ensure your flowers arrive with maximum freshness. On average, our flowers are at your door within three days of being cut at the farm. Considering a typical cut rose has a lifespan of around 21 days, this swift delivery means you get to enjoy those precious blooms for as many days as possible. If you value a company that strives for sustainability and ethical practices while providing premium, farm-fresh, and exceptionally long-lasting blooms, then Quilago is the ideal choice for your floral needs.
