What could be a better gift for Mom that a bouquet of beautiful roses that have been ecologically produced and ethically sourced? Our bouquets come from One World Flowers, a leader in improving the lives of the workers, mostly women, who grow the flowers for the global floral industry.

Fair Trade Certification means farms that grow flowers are given a fair price for their produce, workers enjoy safe working conditions, fair living wages are paid to workers, and environmentally friendly growing practices are used. It is a commitment made by each company in the supply chain to maintain higher standards in our business practices, even if it costs a little more. In short, everyone can benefit from Fair Trade – from the worker in the field, to the company that owns the farm, the environment, and even you! By caring for the people first, Fair Trade ensures that the local environment and the local economy are also protected and built up. LEARN MORE
