To keep long haul flowers fresh large amounts of pesticides are often used. This can be dangerous for many reasons ranging from entering water streams to causing serious illness to the people who work with the flowers every day.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
Roses are red, violets are blue Buy them potted, or fresh and new Just try a local market when you do It can save the earth from a pesticide or two
Bloom on…
Just in a greener way.Valentine’s Day is a day to show someone how much you care by giving your love eco-friendly flowers.
Fresh cut flowers from large retailers are often shipped from all over the nation and world to provide for the Valentine’s Day rush.In order to fill the supply and keep the flowers beautiful during the long haul large amounts of pesticides are often used on these flowers.
A great symbol of your long-lasting affection is a potted plant. They’re fun, quirky, and cute (just like that special someone) and they last a long time providing enjoyment for weeks instead of days.
Another way to enjoy a greener bouquet is to try a local farmer’s market or organic grocery store.
