peach muffins

When we went under contract for the purchase of our house last year, my husband and I fantasized about all the fruit trees, flowers and vegetables we could plant and harvest.

Nova Zaro

As Mother’s Day approaches many of us start thinking about ordering flowers for the mothers in our lives. Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day account for the largest commercial production and consumer purchase of flowers all year. Imagine, how many flowers have to hit the floral markets by February 14th and mid-May. I hadn’t considered the environmental impact of these two holidays until a recent conversation with an organic cut flower farmer, Nova Zaro, owner of Earth Angel Flower Farm.
