Floral Designers Blossom

We are so proud of our staff who started out as employees helping in the stores part time after school and have now blossomed into true floral artists.

It’s very normal for a florist shop to need that extra hand to help with the everyday chores of the upkeep in the store. High School and University students are great for this as they are wanting to earn extra money but don’t want fulltime hours. Not always students but sometimes house wives or people who love flowers and would like to become designers apply for a job to pursue thier dreams.

These staff often do the work we don’t always have time for, such as cutting and processing the flowers when they come in fresh several times a week, watering plants, keeping the place clean, and eventually serving customers. When all is done and there is extra time (which happens less than more), they get to actually work with the flowers and try their hand at design. A very eager student will actually work fast and very efficiently in order to have that extra time. More often than not, these are the ones that love flowers and have a natural artististic flair.

As they create their seniors and managers will comment, criticize and encourage.  Every now and then we run into a person who without a doubt has great talent. They are encouraged to use their talent and are coached to become true floral designers.  The results can be very amazing. This is very encouraging to us as we mould our teams to be all that they can be, not omly in the shop but also as an individual.
