How about a bouquet of long-stem…pesticides? No thanks. Show someone you really appreciate them with a handful of organic or fair-trade flowers or, better yet, blossoms fresh-picked from your yard or a local farm. A nice pot of planted flowers or herbs will provide enjoyment for even longer. You can even find small potted trees for the home as well as larger varieties for the yard, a green gift will last for years and help reduce global warming.

Good article. Great idea. Fresh flowers wilt and die. Herbs can be grown in a window.

Instead of buying flowers for my wife, I always buy plants usually rose bushes, that way she almost always has flowers for the clipping......great advice Priscilla!!!
