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. But all that may be changing. A new wave of socially-conscious consumers are using more organically grown flowers in their homes and offices, as well as purchasing them for special occasion and corporate gifts.
Although most organic flowers are still sold through traditional outlets, like local farmers' markets and natural food stores, organic flower delivery is also available via the internet, which has made it easy to send them as gifts.
Organic flowers have also quickly become a favorite for use in floral bouquets for weddings. And 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.
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.
