Green Living

When I worked at a flower shop many moons ago, Mother’s Day was by far the biggest day of the year for flowers, surpassing Valentine’s Day. So if you’re planning on loving up your mum with living things, we’d like to direct you to some green growers in Los Angeles who will make your token of devotion sustainable.

Wisteria Lane offers delivery of flowers grown with the well-being of the environment, wildlife, and farm workers in mind.  It’s offering a special (organically grown) gerbera daisy bouquet displayed in a tote made from recycled juice boxes for Mother’s Day this year. See the Blooming Gerbera Tote here. And check out Wisteria Lane’s other bouquets to choose from.

YDT readers will get $10.00 off any Wisteria Lane order for L.A. delivery over $85.00 (excluding delivery and tax) with the online code WL0408. (888) 345 – 6101.

At Living Arrangements you can have modern, potted, L.A. climate-friendly succulents delivered to mom that will last on her table, sill or porch for years. See all the artistic possibilities at Living Arrangements here.

Mention Your Daily Thread in your email or phone call to Living Arrangements and get 10% any order. (323) 574 – 0747. info@livingarrangementsla.com.

TreePeople offers tree dedications all year long, but their Mother’s Day dedications are extra special. See this year’s cards for mom that come complete with one tree planted in our L.A. mountain regions to further its mission of “helping nature heal our cities.” By planting a tree you show affection for both your mothers at the same time.

Finally, if you’re going to be near the Silver Lake farmers’ market on Saturday, May 9^th, you can give Silver Lake Farms a call to see which lovely, organic, grown right here in L.A. blooms will be for sale at its stall. Depending on the weather before then, you could get your hands on amazingly vibrant ranunculus, anemones or sweet peas. (323) 644 – 3700. And if you’d like to join Silver Lake Farm’s effort to protect urban farming, call the same number and get on an action e-mail list.
