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.

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.
