Thank you for your interest in organically grown bulbs. Your support encourages more farmers to convert to organic practices and to reduce toxic chemical usage in the world!
Brightwood, VA-based EcoTulips LLC is bringing positive change to the flower bulb industry by offering an alternative to chemically grown bulbs. Organic flower bulbs are grown without toxic pesticides which negatively affect the environment and have been linked to hive collapse in the honey bee population. Watch The Vanishing of the Bees to learn more about the negative effects of pesticides on the honey bee population. The US imports approximately 800 million chemical grown bulbs from Holland every year. EcoTulips’ bulbs let bee’s pollinate without being in danger!
Pesticides are spread through the air and water, and there are growing concerns that they're posing a threat to public health. Watch this video to learn more about toxic pesticides, the potential danger and the negative impact on our environment.
