Bloomin’ Brilliant
When is a rose not just a rose? Answer: when it’s sustainably grown, Fair Trade certified, and profits from its sale go toward charitable community projects worldwide. That’s precisely what happens when you purchase an elaborate bouquet, wreath, or stunning arrangement of “eco-elegant” roses from Organic Bouquet.
We give flowers as symbols of love, friendship and goodwill, and when you use Organic Bouquet’s services to do so there’s the added delight of knowing the colorful blossoms contribute to an altruistic cause. Working with organizations that aid farmers in Ecuador, in-need families in India, and economic and sustainability measures in the Andean Highlands, Organic Bouquet’s business model is one concerned with giving back.
Meanwhile, the flowers themselves live up to the highest ethical standards, which is why they have certifications attesting to their ecosystem-friendliness. And during October, proceeds from the sale of their downright gorgeous Breastcancer.org arrangement go toward breast cancer research and education. There’s no shame in dropping your significant other a few hints that you’d like to receive a benevolent bouquet as a present sometime soon.
