“Did you know that “Good Old Days” florist, LYNN MEHL, works with organically grown flowers? Lynn is considered to be the first florist on the East Coast to go organic. Lynn, as owner of “Good Old Days Florist” in New Windsor, has become the first florist on the U.S. East Coast to sell eco friendly and organically grown flowers according to Organic Bouquet Headquarters in California. With the popularity and great interest in the environment due to documentaries like “an Inconvenient Truth” and the anticipated start of actor ROBERT REDFORD’S Green Network channel on cable TV, a lot of attention has been brought on the nation’s florist industry. Besides the obvious health benefits of not exposing yourself to pesticides, Good Old Days Florist owner Lynn Mehl, says of her flowers; “I just could not consciously continue with something against all that I support. They’re fragrant, last longer, promote sustainable farming, and cost the same. Buying organically grown flowers protects your family, your pets, and the environment.” For complete details stop in the say “hello” to Lynn or call her to learn more about organically grown flowers at 845-562-2820.”
