hi jenny and welcomei too am a student and do volentry 1 day a week. I used to work in a busyish florists who didnt really need me so i found i didnt get that much hands on so i found a new florist who had only been open a little while and i get much more hands on as a result .Its just her and me.Maybe you should look for somewere that doesnt have loads of staff already.I know what you mean though it took me about 4 months of ringing round and popping in to eventually find someone willing to give me a go, so just keep trying good luck
