Organic Flowers for a Better Environment


Did you know that the average cut flower sold in America is sprayed dozens of times with chemical flowergardenbeds.jpg fungicides, chemical pesticides, growth hormones, growth regulators and chemical fertilizers? Many of the heaviest spraying occurs south of the border, in Columbia and Ecudor where environmental rules are weak. Since over 70% of flowers sold in the USA come form South America, that means that most likely your flowers have been sprayed many times. While it is better to support U.S. growers, many of domestic growers also use a tremendous amount to chemicals to participate in  the industrial production of flowers. How can you ensure that your flowers were grown in a way that is both easy the environment and minimizes the chemicals you bring into your home? Simply buy local and buy organic! We always recommend that you look to your local farmers markets for a great selection of organic flowers. We sell our flowers at the local Chico, California farmers markets and supply the market goers to a fine selection of flowers year round. When you want something special or out of season or you want to treat a friend or family member to Organic Flowers or Certified Transitional Flowers check our website for a great selection of flowers year round. Go to our 'In the Garden' section to find out what is blooming now and what will be blooming in the next few months. You can click on the bolded listings to see which flowers are available today. We grow hundreds of different varieties of flowers and our selections change weekly. Certain special flowers only bloom for a week or two all year, so check back often to make sure you don't miss special flowers like peonies and oriental trumpet lilies. And each time you support organic flower growers, you are supporting more acreage that is not being used for chemically intensive agriculture which is good you and good for the planet. www.californiaorganicflowers.com
