Arena
Flowers Arena Flowers is the first UK florist to sell FFP products - Fair
Flowers Fair Plants.
The Fair Flowers Fair Plants (FFP) Organisation, the new international standard
for flowers and plants consumers, has recently been set up to monitor and check
ethical standards, right from the flower or plant grower to the beautiful bouquet
or plant that the consumer receives.
FFP is not the same organisation as Fair Trade. FFP's focus relates not only
to 3rd world growers, but also to growers in the first world.
