A little Q & A on Organic/Sustainable Flowers:
Q. Are organic flowers more expensive?
A. No! Many large sustainable greenhouses have found ways of becoming more efficient, such as using parasitic insects do the work on the bad bugs- saving labor costs and costs of chemical pesticides. They are able to keep their operation costs down, making their flowers just as affordable as conventionally grown ones.
Q. Are organic flowers going to be bug infested?
A. There's always a chance with field grow flowers, but we carefully rinse our flowers prior to putting them on display.
Q. Don't organic flowers have a shorter vase life?
A. No! In fact, most of our flowers are shipped direct from the farms instead of going to auctions, then distributors, then the florist and consumer.
Also to note, all varieties of flowers vary in their lasting ability- A dahlia tends to last about 4-5 days in a vase opposed to a lily or rose that can last up to 2 weeks with proper care(handling instructions to soon follow).
