Been working in computers for the past 8 years and had basically had enough so looking at a career change. My father runs a market garden, its been in the family for generations and as a kid I grew up surrounded by dahlias, crysants, sweet williams and the like. We sell to loads of florist and general flower shops and stalls around the Blackpool area. I'm looking into opening a flower shop whilst studing floristry at Mysercough college though just missed the course for this year :-(

Anyway, I digress, just basically come on here to try and get an insight into the world you guys live and try and get a few ideas. Master plan is to both grow flowers myself and sell via a shop along with contract work for hotels, including plants and containers.

So, hello to you all!!

Never mind it will give you the year to do market research. Are you going to do one of the free business start-up courses? They have all the information about grants, loans etc.
I know that your Dad will know all about tax issues but there could be some valuable hints and tips they can give you. A year is not long to wait for a whole new career. If you have a day a week to spare you could offer to go and help free in a florist shop, it would give you another insight into the florist world. Good luck for the future.
