Organic Bouquet for Mother’s Day

For Mother’s Day we like Organic Bouquet www.organicbouquet.com for eco-flowers, edibles and gifts. Click on any flower arrangements and you’ll learn exactly what eco-certification they carry: VeriFlora, Fair Trade, Florverde, EcoCert, Rain Forest Alliance, Fair Labor Practices and more. And yes, exactly what each of these certifications means is explained. You can also order one of their Flowers For Good bouquets, which donate 5 percent of the purchase to your charity choice. 

Many of the company’s edible gifts are organic and natural. We like the Love You Mom cookies in fun shapes and colors that convey your love for Mom and are certified organic—meaning no artificial colors were used. Normally we aren’t so big on refined flours and sugar, but Mom deserves the treat on this special day.

For a longer-lasting gift, the Scotch broom and strawflower wreath is made with California-grown organic and eco-friendly flowers.

And we love the company’s Carbon Offset Program. Each time you purchase a product from Organic Bouquet, the quantity of carbon emissions from that shipment is offset by rolling funds into the Nicaragua Reforestation Project, which will sequester more than 150,000 tons of CO₂ over a 40-year lifetime through reforesting 340 hectares of abandoned pastureland with native tree species.
