Garbage Goddess was founded by florist Liza Lubell (New York’s Peartree Flowers) in 2019. Liza has spent over fifteen years producing and dismantling events. Disillusioned by the amount of waste that her industry created, Liza realized she could no longer work with florals unless she meaningfully shifted the industry towards earth-supportive practices.

Garbage Goddess is a solution to the trash left behind by traditional event breakdowns. We donate used decor and compost organic waste, diverting trash from landfills.

The Garbage Goddess team relies on a constellation of freelance professionals – including artists, musicians, and teachers – who care for this work and for one another.

“Our community reaches beyond the composting center. What we don’t compost we donate, and over the years, we’ve developed relationships with donation sites like Material for the Arts and schools where event decor becomes fodder for artists, students, and educators. - Liza L.”
