Flower Deliveries

Dear florists and friends,

I interested in the florists and cut flower industry. I understand there are many online florists companies, but I am not sure of how flower bouquets, arrangements, and boxed bouquets get delivered? How do they do they deliver it in boxes without damaging it?

I hope some body can shed some light on this -

Thanks

BEN

Thanks for your response

While I am not real florist, I just don't understand the difference between boxed and un-boxed delivered flowers.

Also what is it like being florists - What would you advise for people starting in the industry - is it more of a passion of enjoyment but irregular income or is there money to be made.

Thanks

BEN

Dear Ben, is your name any reference to George Orwell, if so, boxed flowers are a real florists worst phobia or fear, and as such should be consigned to the room.......

Charlie,, if you want to know about floristry then you best start from the bottom up, check out your local florist, maybe ask them for a job (saturday boy/girl ? ) then after getting a little experience (maybe a year or two) then choose a suitable college course or ask the shop if they would bench train you, after that I wish you good luck,...... but please... get some knowledge before you come on here asking these questions.

If u r not a florist, then what do you do for a living ? maybe we could explain better if we knew... a sort of comparison thing
