This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winner is Donna C. Congrats!
Mother’s Day is just a few weeks away and very soon, I’ll be posting my official 2010 gift guide. My absolute favorite gifts to receive are photo gifts (with pictures of my family, of course), jewelry, and flowers. Bonus points for gifts that are eco-friendly! As you already know, flowers are a popular gift choice for Mother’s Day, accounting for one-fourth of the floral purchases made for the holidays.
Admittedly, my husband has been known to purchase flowers from a variety of venues including everything from our local grocer to our local Farmer’s Market. But with Earth Day still fresh in my mind, I thought I’d share with you some information about a company that offers beautiful, fresh roses while being mindful of the environment.
California Blooms roses are grown exclusively on one of the most world-renowned farms of hydroponic roses. In other words, they grow their roses without soil (interesting). They don’t produce mass quantities of roses and focus more on the art of optimum growing. The family-owned farm has been growing roses for over seven generations and uses eco-friendly methods that reduce the demand for energy and water consumption. If you’re interested in learning more, just check out their growing practices.
This Mother’s Day you can purchase a dozen long stem roses for $39 or two dozen for $59 on their website. If you’re an iPhone user, they have an App you can use which will save you 20% off your first order. California Blooms offers the following colors and options for Mother’s Day bouquets:
- Red
- Pink
- Lavender
- Orange
- Yellow
- White
- Peach
- Green
- Or a mixed bouquet
I have not had an opportunity to personally experience their flowers, but I’m impressed with their eco-minded practices and their commitment to offering fresh, gorgeous arrangements. And their turnaround time is 24 hours as opposed to 3-7 days for other florists.
Win It! One of you will win One Dozen Roses from California Blooms. Simply leave me a comment with an arrangement you like from the site and the color you’d choose if you win. Comments will close on May 3, 2010 at 11:59 PM PST. I will contact the winner and they will have 48 hours to respond. One comment per person, please (unless you do the extra credit). US residents only. Duplicates and comments not including the above information will be disqualified. Comments are moderated. If you don’t see your comment in a reasonable amount of time, send me an email. Bloggers and non-bloggers may enter. If you don’t want to leave your email address, please be sure to check back for my announcement on the winner. Please note that winners must respond within 48 hours of being announced/contacted or another winner will be drawn. Want an extra entry? Do any or all of the following and receive an extra entry for each one.

Another great option for an eco-friendly Mother’s Day gift is a gift set from Sustainable Sourcing https://secure.sustainablesourcing.com. They have gourmet gift sets of Himalayan pink salt/organic peppercorns and another with organic bath salts and massage stones. I love that Sustainable Sourcing uses eco-friendly business practices and donates money to environmental causes.
I would choose the yellow arrangement.
