Valentine Special: Organic Roses

Filed in archive Food and Agriculture on February 13, 2006

Ey, one day to go! Thinking of getting roses? Make it organic roses!

Instead of relying on synthetic and toxic chemicals to create the perfect rose, Biogarden sets precedent with an example of a pristine ecosystem: beneficial insects including wasps eat the aphids, while natural fertilizers - including composted old flowers - transform the warm, humid soils of the greenhouses into a hotbed of radiant colors and floral hues.

Once harvested, Biogarden's organic roses are classified, graded, packed by hand, and kept in refrigerated storage until shipped by FedEx to individuals and businesses in the United States through its marketing partner, OrganicBouquet.com.

Nope, I don't get commission. Just consider this a friendly reminder, 'cause if your significant other is anything like me, you better order your flowers NOW. :)
