What are organic flowers? Why are organic flowers important?

One of the prominent and rising trends in recent years is organic living. This tendency to embrace organic products, evident in almost every aspect of life, has made many changes possible, starting with our eating habits. The concept appears in many different areas, from cosmetics to clothing.

Another benefit of organic living is organic flowers. Organic flower cultivation, which is at least as important as organic farming, has started to gain recognition in our country in recent years.

What is this organic flower?

In its simplest definition, organic flowers are flowers grown without the use of any pesticides or chemicals. However, in Türkiye, a major flower-producing country, and in many other countries around the world, flowers traded commercially are exposed to certain chemicals to prevent damage during transport and to extend their shelf life. These chemicals increase seed germination and provide resistance to cold and hot weather conditions, but they also cause significant environmental damage. Unfortunately, legally permitted pesticides are widely used in the cut flower industry. These flowers, harmful to health in many ways, threaten both human life and nature.

Why Should We Support Organic Floristry?

Flowers grown without agricultural chemicals are primarily beneficial in supporting human health and preventing environmental pollution. In this way, flower growers, those involved in the sales process, and customers are all protected from toxic chemicals. By cultivating organic flowers, you generally support an organic lifestyle.

Contrary to popular belief, organic flowers last much longer.
