Saying I love you with flowers

Valentine's work experience

On Friday and Saturday last week I spent time in a florist in Withal for Valentine's work experience. I've been into this florist quite a few times before so I've got a bit of experience now, and they let me do more and more each time. I spent most of Friday in the back making up endless bouquets, and on Saturday I went out on some deliveries. I'd never done this before but I really enjoyed it, it was great to put smiles on people's faces by surprising them with flowers!

Sympathy: Week 3

This is the result of week 3 of the sympathy unit of my floristry course, and I think my favourite design so far! The weaving was a little tricky to get the hang of at first but it looks so effective. The red fabric underneath is for when the china grass dries out and shrinks, so you can see the red through the gaps. Another reason why this design can also be used for Valentine's Day.

I also remembered to take step by step photos this week, which is good to see all the separate stages.
