Beauty With A Conscience
















To purchase please click HERE

While recently away in the Napa Valley planning for my upcoming July wedding, I met with several florists who are incorporating a new focus on Eco-Conscious flowers.  These blooms are certified by an independent third party to have been grown, harvested and handled using practices that improve farm working conditions, protect eco-habitats, and conserve water and energy.  Such Eco-Conscious Florists are attracting large numbers of brides who want their flowers responsibly grown.  Inspired, we at Diana Martin Gifts have paired this stunning recycled post consumer glass vase with local, sustainably grown tulips.

Facts For Thought:

·      26% of all Americans bought cut flowers last Valentine’s Day

·      Imported flowers account for 67% of U.S. flower sales (other countries often have far less stringent rules about pesticide, herbicide and usage)

·      Seeking out locally sourced flowers/fruit decreases the fossil fuels used to transport and refrigerate cut buds

What a wonderful idea! It's delightful to be able to buy a beautiful vase and flowers and be eco-conscious at the same time. There's now no reason to damage the earth while beautifying my surroundings. Thank you!
