Choose Organic Flowers for Mother’s Day: Organic Bouquet to Donate a Portion of Sales to The Organic Center to Advance the Science Behind the Benefits of Organic
The Organic Center, a nonprofit organization dedicated to furthering scientific research behind the health and environmental benefits of organic food and farming, will receive a portion of proceeds from sales from Organic Bouquet®, a leader in organic flowers.
Boulder, CO., April 30, 2008 /Natural Newswire/ -- This Mother’s Day and throughout the year, give organic flowers. The Organic Center is pleased to announce a special fundraising initiative with organic floral industry leader Organic Bouquet. The Organic Center will receive 10% of the proceeds from purchases that follow this link: www.OrganicBouquet.com/OrganicCenter
To support the work of the Center, Organic Bouquet has even created a special “Organic Center Bouquet” of organically produced roses. As a special offer for Mother’s Day, The Organic Center Bouquet comes with a free vase when a customer clicks through to this link: www.OrganicBouquet.com/OrganicCentermday
“Give something beautiful that doubles your giving and send The Organic Center Bouquet or any of the bouquets on offer through our link to Organic Bouquet’s website,” says Seleyn DeYarus, The Organic Center’s Development Director. “Working with such donor partners as Organic Bouquet helps ensure that we can continue important scientific research into the human health and environmental benefits of organic agriculture and communicate those benefits to the public.”
Ornamental flowers are often grown in developing countries and produced with the heavy application of toxic, synthetic pesticides. The production of organic flowers helps to improve the quality of farm working conditions, minimize damage to ecosystems, conserve biodiversity, and enhance environmental quality for future generations.
