Florist News

Hi all. I am currenty at college doing my City & Guilds in Floristry and was wondering if there are any industry based magazines that you would recommend.

Hi ya,
what are you looking for in a magazine, there is a florist magazine, but you have to subscribe yearly for that. If it's designs you may be better going to the library and get florist designers books out i.e. Paula Pryke, or when you go to the Birmingham exhibition with college, you can often buy them there. Are you at Writtle college?

Just wanted a publication that would help me to understand a bit about working in a shop, what florists are looking for etc. At college you learn how to put things together but it was more the other side I was interested in. Will go to library with your suggestions though. Am studying at Capel Manor in Enfield, North London. Have to find a florist for work experience soon, any suggestions as to how to go about that. The college has a list but I don't know if there is enough of them to go round all the classes.

Thanks for your answers.
