Floristry

Florists are skilled designers whose work enhances all of the emotional times in peoples' 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. 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.
