Every time I go into a craft store, I visibly cringe while walking past the “floral†department. Some marketing genius decided to refer to them all as “silk†flowers, rather than what they really are: horribly fake plastic imitations of plants. Either way, I’m on a mission to dissociate that muck from mainstream crafting once and for all.

The Green Options Interview: Gerald Prolman, CEO of Organic Bouquet
(via greenoptions.com)
Organic Bouquet was formed in January 2001 with the goal to establish the national market for organic flowers. They have accomplished this by encouraging both small and large flower growers to initiate organic production while creating widespread trade and consumer awareness of the need for organic flowers. Their ultimate goal is to protect the environment and improve farm worker safety by eliminating millions of pounds of toxic pesticides from agricultural usage.
