For any occasion, whether you opt for fresh bouquets from the farmers’ market or decide to transform your backyard into a blooming oasis, flowers have the power to brighten up the holiday and your home. So why not spruce up the pantry with florals, too? VegNews editors searched far and wide for the best flower-infused products, and these are eight of our favorites.
