Give trees instead of flowers
From TipThePlanet
- Instead of buying cut flowers for a gift, why not treat someone to a tree that will last years? You can even find trees that will be happy in pots if space is limited. There's plenty of shops and websites to choose from, but for starters, try http://shop.btcv.org.uk/shop/level2/71/level and http://www.tree2mydoor.com For organically-grown fruit trees, try http://www.walcotnursery.co.uk
- People generally send flowers to the funeral home when someone passes away, and they do this to express their sympathy and love for the family. This is a tradition that has lived on for a very long time, but flowers these days are very expensive, and most of them are disposed of at the cemetery. This is why some people choose to give a tree other than flowers.Funeral Tree
