2007 Archives: SEED Events Organic Floral Bouquets
It’s Monday morning. You’re bolting down your (organic) cheerios and tossing back a few shots of (fair-trade) espresso in a rush to get to the daily grind. Then the doorbell rings and your who-the-heck-is-bothering-me-at-this-hour annoyance gives way to pure joy as you open the door to a gorgeous bouquet of sweet-smelling flowers that sit on your table and radiate the kind of beauty that demands you sit down and contemplate it for a moment. But if you’re like us your deep breaths give way to a kind of eco-anxiety. Were the flowers grown with chemicals? Do they come from a gigantic single-product farm that threatens biodiversity? Were the workers who harvested them fairly treated? Rest easy, EcoStilettoista, as you can now get certified organic flowers and plants sourced from growers committed to the highest social and environmental standards, supporting farms that minimize damage to ecosystems and conserve biodiversity. Nationally, take a look at Organic Bouquet; if you’re in Southern California, check out the Santa Monica-based SEED Events and Floral Design, which whips up events using eco-friendly ingredients and makes the most amazing organic floral arrangements using blooms from Organic Bouquet.
