Valentine’s Day is arguably the quintessential Hallmark holiday and yet I can’t complain too much about a day designed to give women chocolate and flowers. And speaking of flowers, if your sweetie is in the market to get you some, tell him you’d be extra impressed if he managed to get you the certified, sustainably-grown variety. Finding them is easier than you think. Just look for the VeriFlora symbol at your local grocery store or floral shop. If you can’t find them locally, check out VeriFlora’s website for online floral retailers that specialize in “eco bouquets” like those at OrganicBouquet.com. VeriFlora flowers are grown using fair labor practices and sustainable crop production. Their growers also strive to protect ecosystems and conserve resources and energy.
