Like florists all over the country, Terra Bella Flowers in Greenwood spent this
week wrangling red roses.
Long-stemmed beauties from Ecuador stood in bins on the floor while arrangers’
fingers flew to assemble bouquets for Valentine’s Day this weekend.
Unlike most florists, Terra Bella’s roses come with a string of credentials.
They are certified by Veriflora, Flor Ecuador, Fair Labor Practices and the
Flower Label Program.
They are “eco-roses” not quite organic, but grown with fewer pesticides than
your average flower.
