Why should you support the locally grown flowers movement? Watch the film!
A short film about why you should buy locally grown flowers
The Association of Specialty Cut Flower Growers (ASCFG) has made a lovely short film about the locally grown flowers movement. It is absolutely worth 15 minutes of your time. Give it watch!
