Organic flowers - Resources, Links, and Reviews
Organic flowers are a natural, eco-friendly trend in gift-giving.
Organic flowers have been grown commercially for a long time, but until recently, the market has been dominated by vegetable growers. Socially concious consumers are buying and using more organically grown flowers in their homes and offices.
Organic flowers can be used in floral arrangements for weddings, special occasions and corporate gifts. Because they grown without the use of pesticides, organic flowers can be safely used to decorate wedding cakes and as garnishes on food. Some organically-grown flowers, like pansies, are edible and make fun food accents.
Organic flowers are still sold mostly through traditional outlets, like local farmers' markets and to wholesalers, but organic flower delivery is now available via the internet.
In the floral industry, Veriflora is the "Green Label" standard certification for growers of organic flowers. This certification addresses the environmental and socially responsible aspects of flower growing. Flowers bearing the Veriflora label are certified "earth friendly" flowers.
