Fair Trade and Organic Flowers

Filed under Green Flowers  3:22 pm

There is a website in Toronto Canada that has the right idea when it comes to organic weddings. It is called Eco Flora, and it specializes in Fair Trade, wildcrafted and organic flowers.This fits in nicely with the trend towards having a green wedding. Fair Trade flowers make sure that nobody was exploited in the process of their cultivation. Many flowers for wedding bouquets come from countries like Ecuador and Columbia where people are not treated fairly. Wildcrafted flowers are not full of pesticides which can leech into water tables and poison the lakes and rivers. Organic flowers are grown naturally as well in both wild and contained enviroments. There are several initiatives that Eco Flora follows when it comes to its Fair Trade Flowers. One of them is the Flower Label Progam (FLP) which has 37 certified organic and Fair Trade in Ecuador. Another is Max Havelaar, which also has free trade flowers that are sold to Eco Flora from a farm in Ecuador.
