Support Organic Flower Farmers

Why buy organic flowers for Valentine’s Day or any holiday?

1. It’s best for our environment by reducing chemical usage.

2. Safer for the farmers, laborers who work the farm and florists.

3. Promotes long term sustainability to the soil.

When farmers use pestisides, the tend to move around to and can contaminate water supplies, our homes and gardens.

Organic flower farmers use prevention instead of toxic chemicals. They use pest-resistant plants which promotes a healthier soil.

Many of the flowers sold in supermarkets come from other countries who do not have strict regulations about pesticides like we do in the United States. So the floralists can suffer from the chemicals.

Please try to support the farmerst who grow organic. Ventura County Farmers Market sells organic flowers and you can order them from Organic Bouquet.
