Going Green

 

At Frenchgardenhouse we are committed to GREEN. One of the main ways we recycle is to offer Antiques and Vintage items, the ultimate in re~using and re~purposing.
 
We seek out new products of high quality, things that will last and add beauty for many years, for you to feather your own nest with, or to give as a long lasting gift.
We utilize recycled paper shredding as filler in most of our packages, we ask that you please deposit this in your recycling bin, if your city's Trash Service provides these. We always re-use packing material, at times we use recycled boxes to ship your items, but only when doing so will retain the utmost in safety for your purchases.  We also believe in the USA. Our tissue papers, product boxes and bags are all made right here, in the US, as well as being recycled.
We will consolidate your order into as few containers as safely possible. We are constantly trying to update the "way we do things" in order to make a difference.
 
We hope that you will think of ways to Go Green, too.
