Firstly, for those of you who dont already know about or subscribe to Florist & Wholesale Magazine, really must visit the newly vamped website. Bursting with inspiration and ideas.
I was particularly touched by one article posted on the site, about a ex RAF soldier who had returned home and decided a change of direction was needed after experiencing traumatic situations fighting abroad. The ex soldier set up a floristry business near his home. (http://www.fandwb.com/the-news/159-from-fighter-jets-to-flowers.html)
I have found now that it is not unusual to see or hear such stories. Individuals who have come from stressful, high profile jobs are turning to Horticulture or Floriculture as a form of rehab and a refreshing career move. It really goes to show that its not just the receipents of floral gifts that benefit, but the people who put their creativity and passion for all things growing to good use.
