BYO Heather Ale

[mmmbeer]

Hey everyone!
Im looking at brewing the Heather Ale recipe out of BYO but have been unable to find any fresh or dried heather flowers. I went to a florist shop to try and order some and they said they dont recoment buying flowers from them for cooking due to the pesticides used. Anyone know where I can get 3 cups fresh or 1-2 cup dry heather flowers to make this?
