Description

We often mark a special event - a birthday, an anniversary, a graduation - with a gift of flowers. Flowers mean love, respect, recognition, celebration...Rarely, however, do we think about where the flowers we buy come from. This booklet encourages an appreciation of labour and environmental issues in the global flower industry, including trading conditions, health and safety of workers, use of pesticides, repression of union activists, and strategies to support flower workers.
