EARTH
FRIENDLY FLOWERS
from America
The
flower industry has changed dramatically over the years
mostly in the source of many of the flowers (South America).
In order to fill the demand for roses and other flowers
South American flowers are generally cut and shipped days
in advance of actually being delivered to the florist. Even
when shipped overnight directly to a florist these flowers
under go extremely high temperatures that shorten the vase
life of your flowers by over 50% or more, also many flowers
arrive rotten or molded. South American countries do not
have the same pesticide restrictions that the United States
has in place. We all suffer economically by purchasing flowers
dumped in the U.S. by these foreign flower growers.
Because
of the strict pesticide regulations in California we buy
a large portion of our flowers from local Salinas flower
growers and other California growers. We think
that selling reduced pesticide treated flowers is the responsible
path to take for our customers, our employees and our earth.
