Organic Bouquet, Inc., the USA¹s first organic floral company, has developed sourcing for over 10 million stems of organic flowers for the 2002-2003 crop season.

All of the organic flowers are certified organic by agencies accredited by the USDA¹s new National Organic Standards Program. In addition to the Company¹s grower base in California and Oregon, a variety of organic flowers to ensure year-round supplies are sourced from a diverse network of growers in Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Honduras, Holland, and Costa Rica. New offerings include organic roses, tulips, and a bouquet du jour­a country-style bouquet that is specially arranged with a colorful selection of the freshest organic flowers picked for the specified day of shipment.
