hi lavenderfleur,
I trained at Writtle college it was a full time 1 years BTEC in floristry. It gave me a good grounding, as i was working in a shop on saturdays throughout that year, and i was lucky enough to get a full time job when i qualified. since then i have worked in 3 different shops all with such different styles and ways of doing things and i am still learning now which is part of the reason you never get bored in this occupation!!!!
