While you don’t need a reason to surprise someone you care about with flowers (especially because you happen to be a particularly thoughtful and sweet person), the fact that purchasing Fair Trade Certified flowers is empowering men and women flower workers in the developing world by providing them with fair wages, healthy working environments, and access to better living conditions should make you want to hop over to the nearest flower store ASAP!

Now, doing so is easy because the list of Fair Trade Certified flower vendors continues to grow! For a list of vendors near you, visit the Where to Buy Fair Trade Flowers website. What a great way to celebrate Fair Trade Month AND someone special at the same time! Man, you’re smart!
