Choose Fairtrade: Fairtrade flower feast

fairtrade-flowers.jpgFrom girlfriends to grannies, all ladies love to be given flowers, and it doesn’t usually happen as often as we would like.   Fairtrade Fortnight gives us the opportunity to give someone we love flowers, wine and chocolate, while at the same time improving someone elses life in the developing world.

This flower arrangement is made up of Namaqua and Ice Breaker roses, alstroemeria, pink statice and eucalyptus all  packaged in a reusable hessian bag.  Included in the gift are red wine and Chocaid chocolates, both Fairtrade products too.

A Fairtrade premium, of the price paid to the farm for the flowers, goes straight to the farm workers on the Fairtrade-certified plantations to be invested in healthcare, housing, education and social facilities in their communities.

Always look for the FAIRTRADE mark on internationally-certified products.

£48.50 with free delivery from John Lewis.
