Bouquets for Good!
03.09.11
A beautiful bouquet of flowers can brighten anyone's day, but Organic Bouquets helps brighten the world for those less fortunate as you take in their aroma. Dedicated to environmental, social and economic sustainability, Organic Bouquet provides zero-interest loans, childcare, healthcare, education, environmental protection and more to local workers on their Certified Sustainable Farms in Ecuador and Colombia. Possibly the best part, their Flowers for Good program helps non-profit partners and donates 5% of each bouquet purchased to the selected charity.
