Working on the finishing touches for a model apartment, private home or just for a quick gift for a friend? Well, go green! And yes, we mean literally, but also check out the socially and environmentally conscious florist Gardenia Organic located in the West Village. It turns out those normal flowers at every NYC deli are actually ridden with pesticides, and are grown in South America with up to 25 various poisons which can not only negatively affect our personal health but also the health of the farmers and our water supply.

And how do we know we are buying consciously? They are endorsed by VeriFlora, a program that certifies florists for sustainable growth, supporting healthy ecosystems and equitable workplaces. Gardenia Organic, florist and emporium, 526 Hudson Street, NYC, 10014. They can be reached at 646.688.5753.
