The BEST Place to Buy Organic Flowers
So you want to buy that special someone some eco-friendly flowers huh?
That's a GREAT idea! Valentine's Day is right around the corner!
Having a hard time finding certified organic flowers that are affordable?
Having trouble finding them at all?
What do all those certifications and logos mean?
All VERY good questions!
Let's answer them...
It can be tough to find affordably priced organic flowers.
If you've ever looked for them, you know this to be true.
You've got places like 1-800-Flowers who literally has an embarrassing total of 3 organic bouquets to choose from.
FTD does a little better, but not much.
And ProFlowers.com (my old favorite) doesn't get in the eco-friendly flower game at all...but maybe that's better than getting into it half-assed.
No, the place you want to go for affordable organic, veriflora, and otherwise certified flowers is...OrganicBouquet.com!

"We have partnered with The Climate Trust (www.climatetrust.org) to initiate a carbon offset program that mitigates greenhouse gases generated from shipping your flowers. Each time you purchase a product from Organic Style, the amount of carbon emissions from that shipment is offset by rolling funds into the Truck Stop Electrification Program — a program which reduces wasteful diesel emissions at truck stops by creating low cost, electrical alternatives for truckers to power heating, air conditioning and appliances."

Where is your favorite place to buy organic flowers?
I love organic flowers. I found great organic flowers in H Style Magazine. I also advertise my natural beauty products in H Style Magazine. Love this article. Love that all the boxes are recycled and recyclable materials and yes--love the idea of a charitable bouquet.
Great article! :) I'm always looking for ways to be greener!
