Why Buy Organic Flowers?
Organic flowers address the core purpose of organic
production: to enrich the Earth. Your support encourages
more growers to convert to organic practices and to reduce
toxic chemical usage in the world!
Pesticides and other toxic chemicals used on flowers can
affect the health of farm workers and florists. Without the
proper protection, the toxic chemicals can spread onto the
clothes and into the bodies of farm workers which in turn
can increase exposure to their children. Florists who
handle non-organic flowers have been known to develop
dermatitis on their hands.
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, are more
fragrant and last longer than non-organic ones.
On a spiritual, holistic level, organic flowers have been
farmed in such ways that they retain the essence of
flowers, as Mother Nature intended them to have.
Organic flowers are part of a natural, healthy lifestyle.
The toxic chemicals used on flower farms can poison
groundwater and the soil. These chemicals also become part
of the food chain, as animals such as birds will eat the
sprayed plants.
Through evaporation, toxic pesticides and fertilizers that
are sprayed on flower farms end up in the atmosphere. They
then travel to other global areas to fall as rain or snow.
Every flower counts: Increasing sales of certified organic
flowers gives the market notice that more organic flowers
need to be grown, which makes more flower farms convert to
using organic agricultural methods.
