    Picking wild flowers disrupts the circle of life, artificially growing flowers requires energy, fertilizer and insecticides which also disrupts the circle of life. Best option is to buy her broccoli instead. Don’t wrap it though, wrapping paper is basically really flat chopped trees with a layer of chemicals on top. No ribbons either. Maybe some sauce, but not milk/yoghurt/egg-based.

      Sure but who said anything about picking wild flowers just to waste them? I propagate wild flowers in my back yard to help native pollinators. They also visit my vegetable garden! I love to see all the different bees and hoverflies!
