    People with florist jobs constantly have their creativity challenged – beautiful bouquets do not just magically assemble themselves as some people seem to imagine. In addition, you also need to be adept at dealing with people. This is a major part of your job. As a florist you are asked to undertake a role in the most happy, and the most sad, of occasions in other peoples’ lives. Perhaps that is what makes the job so demanding and, ultimately, rewarding.
