Florists are skilled designers whose work enhances all of the emotional times in people's lives - weddings, new babies, funerals,anniversaries, parties and birthdays.

Florists also know the way that plants grow which means they can take care of flowers for use in arrangements, bouquets and wreaths. Most floristry students aspire to run their own businesses after training and working in the industry. Jobs are available in florists' shops at home and abroad, locally and in London. Top hotels employ their own florists and events stylists employ them to decorate a wide variety of venues and parties.

Related careers can include interior landscaping and styling for banks and offices, working for flower wholesalers, or, after further experience, teaching. Some florists specialise in freelancing for a range of floristry businesses, wedding work or corporate events.

The Floristry Department at Writtle College has exclusive use of four workshops located in its own purpose-built unit and boasts a group of highly qualified staff with extensive experience in both teaching and the floristry industry. Technicians provide full support to the unit and are able to supply students with materials as required.
