WNLA E-Newsletter - September 7, 2010
I'm pleased that VeriFlora will be at the 2011 National Green Centre. In addition to exhibiting at the show, they will also present on their VeriFlora Certified Sustainably Grown label. This label is your guarantee that flowers and potted plants have been produced in an environmentally and socially responsible manner and with high quality standards. Check out the growers and retailers who are already certified: click here.
