Due to a surge in demand for “earth-friendly” flowers — one of the fastest growing segments in the $230 billion natural products industry — Organic Bouquet, a pioneer in eco-floral marketing, has launched www.organicbouquetwholesale.com, a new division offering certified sustainably grown flowers to florists, retailers, event planners, restaurants and hotels.
All key floral categories, including roses, lilies, tulips, alstroemeria, gerberas, novelty and fillers, are shipped direct from Organic Bouquet’s partner farms.
Organic Bouquet works with three certification programs sold under two brands of certified sustainable flowers: “Organic Bouquet” and “Eco Bouquet.”
- USDA Certified Organic: Organic farming utilizes agricultural techniques that build soil fertility and protect the surrounding air, water and wildlife, according to Organic Bouquet.
- Veriflora Sustainable: Veriflora is America’s first floral certification standard that verifies good environmental and social management practices from soil preparation through production, harvest and post-harvest handling, according to Organic Bouquet.
- Demeter Biodynamic: Biodynamic is the oldest sustainable system of agriculture practiced in the Western world, taking into account the soil, earth, atmosphere and cosmos, according to Organic Bouquet. Biodynamic does not employ pesticides, herbicides or synthetic fertilizers. Instead, it relies on natural methods to put life back into soils and into the farm’s ecology.
Organic Bouquet has devoted the past five years to organizing a regionally diverse network of certified sustainable flower growers in several countries including the United States, Ecuador and Colombia.
