Why You Should Buy Organic Flowers

I get why we should buy organic food. If it goes into our bodies then it makes sense that it be the healthiest stuff we can find. But what about organic flowers? Is it really important that we use organic materials in our homes? I have no intention of eating the mixed flower bouquet that I buy at the grocery store, so what’s the diff?

In reality it has very little to do with health, but it it important that we have green buying habits so to promote sustainable practices within the flower industry. The more people who buy organically grown flowers, means there is will be a reduction in toxic chemicals used and an improvement soil quality. It is just better for the environment all the way around that we use as few chemicals as possible. Moreover, it creates healthier working conditions for farmers, farm workers and florists.

One of the biggest problems with pesticides and chemicals is that they don’t stay put. They drift through the air and also get into the water supply. If we buy organically grown flowers then we won’t be contaminating our water supply and our air.
