If red roses are the only way to your loved one's heart this Valentine's Day, then why not surprise them with a bouquet that doesn't contain pesticides, fertilisers or other nasties?
Organic flowers are still quite tricky to find, but ethical store By Nature have teamed up with the recently founded Organic Flower Company to offer a range of organic, fair trade and locally-sourced flowers, just in time for Valentine's. You can pick a bunch like this one for as little as £35 at their website, and to keep romance blooming long after the petals have dropped, every bouquet comes wrapped in paper encrusted with wildflower seeds that can be planted, and attached with a keepsake ladybird peg (aww!)
