I have been on this floristry journey for over 20 years and worked every flower job you can imagine. Today I am sharing some of the lessons I’ve learned and mistakes I made. In today’s video, I am sharing three things I did absolutely wrong that caused me a lot of frustration when I first started my flower shop. I hope you find this helpful.

I would love to help you avoid these same mistakes!
