NAPA VALLEY BUSINESS SPOtLIGHT by the Napa County Green Business Program Grapeseed Oil Tasting in Napa Learn about the healthy alternative to other oils Made from the best seeds on earth!™ 42 www. n A PAVA L L E Y L I F Emagaz ine . com Because the Monkey Flower Group takes pride in carefully considering the effects it has on the environment, it was natural for the company to become a certified Napa County Green Business. The Napa florist specializes in locally grown botanical pieces. Since its founding in 2010, sourcing flowers locally has been central to the Monkey Flower Group’s “green mission.” Not only does designing with local plant materials result in arrangements that reflect the season and place, it is also desirable for all the same reasons that eating local food is: a lighter carbon footprint, stronger communities, and fresher products. Another important founding commitment was to avoid any use of petroleum-based floral foam, a standard tool in most flower shops. Other green efforts include: an energy-efficient walk-in cooler, organic cotton and natural silk ribbons, and a fuel-efficient delivery vehicle. With the help of the Napa Bay Area Green Business Program’s staff, the company identified opportunities to further conserve water and energy by installing low flow water fixtures and compact fluorescent lights. The group is proud to be part of a community that values protecting the environment.
