Fair Trade FlowersMany of the flowers in the UK today are certified fair trade flowers.This means that the flower plantation owners and farm workers in less developed countries such as those in Africa get a fair deal from the flower industry as a whole. Fair trade flowers are about investing in communities to provide a sustainable future as well as providing fantastic products to local florists all over the UK. If you want to ensure the flowers you're ordering are fair trade, then look for the international fair trade certified logo in the window of your local florist and ask them to show you their fair trade selection of flowers. As many flowers come from developed European countries, only a small percentage of a local florist's flowers may actually be fair trade. Fair trade flower schemes allow you to buy flowers with a clear conscience knowing that the farm workers are being educated and looked after in the right way in the long term, rather than being exploited for short term gain. Fair Flowers Fair Plants (FFP) is an international body that looks after flower growers in all parts of the world and is a relatively new standard that's being adopted by more and more florists. Consumer tip: If you really want to buy fair trade or FFP flowers in your area and can't find a suitable florist, look online to find companies who can deliver these types of flowers nationwide. |
