This Mother’s Day go Organic

Why not buy mom some organic flowers this mothers day and be good to both your mother and mother earth! Consider the following facts from the Organic Consumers Association and ask your florist to go organic too.

Whenever you touch or inhale the scent of your non-organic flowers, you are likely touching or inhaling poisonous chemicals. When you buy organic flowers, you will not have to worry about chemicals on your flower bouquets being toxic to your children, other members of your family,
or yourself.

The main goal of organic agriculture is to farm in ways that do not harm the environment, while there is no such motive for most non-organic farms.

Buying organic flowers helps support local organic farming communities and organizations, which often have charitable, philanthropic motives for selling their flowers.

Organic flowers, according to many people, last longer than non-organic ones.

Happy Mothers Day Mother Earth!
