Hard to believe, but Father’s Day is right around the corner! It’s only a couple of weeks from today, on Sunday, June 15th.

If you’re looking for a special gift for your Dad, the folks at Organic Style have a put together a selection of premium organic gourmet baskets, biodynamic wines, as well as bonsai and miniature trees.

One of my personal favorites is the wine grape bonsai pictured here. If your Dad is a wine-lover, gardener, or plant-lover like me, I’m sure he’ll enjoy this VeriFlora® certified bonsai tree. It will bring a bit of the vineyard home to him.

For more gift ideas that are as unique as your Dad, take a few minutes to browse the Organic Style selections. Not only will you find a great gift for your Dad, you’ll also be delivering a powerful earth-friendly message as well.

Buzzwords like “eco-friendly”, “organic“, and “green” have been around a long time. But over the last several years, they have increasingly become a part of our daily lives.

Many businesses are consciously adopting an organic or “green” approach in their day-to-day operations, and many of us are doing the same in our daily lives. Even when it comes to buying floral gifts, more and more people are looking online for “green” choices.

Organic Bouquet.com, the leading organic online florist, makes “giving green” easy with a new line of organic wreaths, organic floral bouquets, and sumptuous organic gift baskets.

• To celebrate the bounty of the Fall harvest, the featured Thanksgiving Centerpiece is a beautiful arrangement of preserved materials, all organically-grown. The centerpiece, which will add the finishing touch to anyone’s Thankgiving table, features pumpkin and chili peppers, and also includes golden salal, Dusty Miller, millet, yarrow, and wheat.

Today’s customer demands greater value when buying roses. And commercial rose growers have listened, and acted developing new rose varieties that are hardier, open beautifully, have a longer vase life, and can be purchased at affordable prices.

But the rose grower’s success has come at the expense of another key ingredient, fragrance, which has been sacrificed in the process.

According to master florist Cherrie Silverman, a staff floral designer for The Tournament of Roses Parade,

“In the 25 years that I’ve been in the floral business we’ve seen a gradual trade off — roses last longer but they’ve lost their fragrance.”

I agree. Most roses grown commercially today have little or no fragrance compared to roses grown in the past.

And not all customers care how long their roses last. I find that especially true when meeting with brides-to-be, who place a much higher value on the romance and fragrance of the flowers they choose.

Once again, rose growers have listened, and things may be about to change. The folks at OrganicBouquet.com have just released a new rose variety named “Vitality”. According to the grower, it’s the first certified-organic fragrant rose available for consumer purchase.

“Vitality” is a beautiful, fragrant white rose with petals that open like a garden rose. Although it has a shorter vase life compared to other commercially-grown roses, this new rose variety is sure to be a winner with brides-to-be, as well as those of us who still place a higher value on the romance of roses.

If you want to sample the romantic scent of “Vitality” roses, they can be purchased from OrganicBouquet.com for overnight delivery within the U.S.
