Top Eco-Friendly Valentine’s Gift: Edible Flowers?
If roses just aren’t your thing, here’s a tip: try giving edible flowers on that special day. According to this article on Examiner.com, edible flowers could be the best replacement for roses, if you want to try something different. Your surprise gift may just be the thing to seal a perfect Valentine’s Day.
The idea is that most Valentine’s Day roses are imported from Central America or other tropical areas. This translates into a huge carbon footprint.
Their idea?
If you must give your love a bouquet of blossoms, go for edible flowers instead. Pansies, chrysanthemums, hibiscus, nasturtiums, and violets are all beautiful and delicious, and lemon verbena, chamomile, and jasmine flowers can be made into wonderful teas.
Companies such as Organic Bouquet can provide great organic and sustainable flowers. But for truly unique ideas, maybe some eco-friendly edible flowers are the way to go!
