Show Mum and Mother Nature You Care

I ask myself, like I am sure many others do, what makes a flower green? I am somewhat environmentally conscious, I know anything from dish detergent to cars can be green. But I have always looked at flowers as being part of nature and just obviously green. But this is not the case…

With Mother’s Day coming up, it would be a nice idea to make sure that you and your mother’s conscience is clear. Buying locally grown flowers is the first step toward making smart choice.

By buying flowers locally, you ensure that the money you spend is spent well and that your gift is even better thought out. This way a difference can be made with every penny you spend. Flowers24hours.co.uk, works with local flower wholesalers, meaning your flowers travel a lesser distance and pollution from fossil fuels is minimized.

Eco-conscious consumers are already making carefully thought out choices when they purchase paints, cabinets, floors and other cleaning products. Now, flowers are also being added to the list of things to buy green.

Many factors go into making a flower green, primarily; the use of pesticide, sustainable crop production, ecosystem protection and fair labour prices. But the point of agreement for most the most important aspect is that flowers are bought locally.

This movement for greener investments in flowers began in Europe and was not taking all that seriously by the rest of the world. But now many countries are following suite. People are not just looking at how much money is being spent but where.

There is only one drawback, to buying flowers green; the fact that some flowers are only available during certain seasons. But most of us can live with that, as almost every season has something beautiful to offer!

You can be sure you are making an environmentally conscious decision, when you order from Flowers24hours.co.uk! Especially, now that among several other awards, we received a ‘Highly Commended’ award for Best Green Business at the Lambeth Business Awards. Let your mum know that you care about her and the environment you live in!
