| SAE: | Working At A Florist |
| Description: | |
| Retail florist shops
are found in almost every town and city in Georgia. The work done at
these shops is very labor intensive and requires a great deal of skill
and artistic talent. Florist shops have one or more designers and other
employees doing less skilled jobs.
A student beginning in a florist shop should expect to begin at the bottom and work up. In the beginning, a high school floral design course and volunteering to work at the florist for no pay may help land a paying job. A job at a florist shop will help to develop good work habits and an increase in floral design skills. Such a job could lead to a career as a floral designer and florist shop owner.
