If 10,000 LA Biters choose organic roses for Mother's Day instead of conventionally grown ones, we'll avert the weight of over 36 full 12-inch vases in pesticides.

Just a month after Mommie Dearest opened to bad reviews, audiences flocked to see the film armed with Ajax and wire hangers to actively "participate" in the film.

The Bite

Thankful Mom never berated you about your taste in hangers? Show her some love with an eco-bouquet. LA's Wisteria Lane'll hook you up with everything from classic roses to posies (the Casablanca arrangement with svelte organic calla lilies is our pick) this Mother's Day, or try its special: your choice of flowers arranged in Half the Sky Design's Rebagz tote (hand-woven from recycled juice boxes). In California alone, nearly 800,000 pounds of pesticides are used on conventional flower farms each year, but WL's blooms are certified organic or sustainable using growers with pesticide-free, fair-trade practices - safer for farm workers and for your mom. No. Toxic. Flowers. Ever.
