Of all the natural wonders found in and near Kelowna, none symbolizes this region’s abundance more than the sunflower. As a final artwork, this piece helped divert the equivalent of over 1,300 plastic bags from entering the landfill all collected by The Body Shop team from instore and home waste. 

The presentation of the sunflower with roots represents the Syilx People of Okanagan as well as the efforts The Body Shop is making to respect its own roots towards a more sustainable shopping experience: Kelowna is one of a number of concept stores designed to incorporate as much natural and reused materials as possible, a throwback to the wishes of their founder, Anita Roddick who, herself, was deeply engaged in environmental protection and animal rights.
