Toronto shop selling bouquets from socially responsible farms a small but blossoming segment of the flower market February 14, 2008 Lisa Wright business reporter Bob and Doug Hatcher aren't your typical petal pushers. Planted in a North York flower shop that's remarkably been in the family for nearly a century, they care enough to dig up the floral facts on exactly where your pretty Valentine's Day roses and bouquets came from and the conditions in which they were grown.
