Description

What we find interesting: Many flowers and plants in the Netherlands are imported and grown using chemical pesticides and fertilizers. This burdens the environment and harms biodiversity.

By choosing organic flowers and plants, you support sustainable cultivation methods that are better for nature and our health. Initiatives like Slowflowers and Sprinklr make it easy to find flowers and plants grown in an environmentally friendly way.



3 more reasons to choose organic flowers and plants
  • Better for bees and butterflies. Chemical pesticides are harmful to insects like bees and butterflies. Organic flowers are grown without harmful agents, thus contributing to healthier biodiversity.
  • Better for you and your home: Chemical residues on flowers can be very harmful to your health. See also this tragic article about a French mother who lost her daughter to leukemia. Organic flowers are free of these substances and therefore safer for you, your family, and pets.
  • Lower CO₂ emissions: Many conventional flowers are imported from countries like Kenya or Ecuador, which results in high CO₂ emissions during transport. Organic flowers from local growers significantly reduce these emissions.
