SAVE $60
Send Mom organic flowers instead of the traditional bouquet. If you normally spend $100 on flowers for mom, you could save $60 by going with a smaller organic flower mix. The cost of organic roses starts at about $40 per bouquet.
If every bouquet of flowers purchased for Mother’s Day was organic, we could keep more than 80 tons of pesticides out of our environment per year.
Did you know?
The amount of pesticides applied to conventionally grown roses is up to 1000 times more than the amount applied to conventional food products. This is not only harmful to the growers of the flowers and to soil and water quality, but also potentially harmful to the people who receive them.
Americans spend about $2 billion on flowers for Mother’s Day every year
