]]> Comment on Why Buy Locally Grown Flowers? by Lynn http://pollenfloraldesign.com/blog/locally-grown-flowers/comment-page-1/#comment-2336 Lynn Thu, 10 Feb 2011 19:01:04 +0000 http://greenfloristchicago.com/?p=123#comment-2336 Thank you for bringing up this important point. I have tried to keep my approach a positive one, focusing on what we can offer, rather than focusing on what others are doing wrong. Thankfully, there are many growers who continue to employ more environmentally and socially responsible practices. I'll be adding more background info on the cut flower industry as I beef up my blog. In the meantime, <a href="http://www.smithsonianmag.com/people-places/The-Secrets-Behind-Your-Flowers.html" rel="nofollow">here's a great article by Smithsonian Magazine</a> on how the cut flower industry ended up to be centered in South America. I also recommend <em>Flower Confidential</em>, by Amy Stewart, to anyone who would like to learn the ins and outs of the cut flower industry. Thank you for bringing up this important point.

It's a horrible industry that is fraught with human rights violations.

It really works and gives depth and interest to each arrangement. Also like that each centerpiece is a little different - good for table hopping.
