Work Experience

Finding work experience this year for my university course has been even harder than last year. What with the current economic situation, local florists are either fully staffed or simply dont have enough work to go round. With the requirement for 400 hours to pass the module, I started to panic. However, I mustn't complain, as I have just come back from two fantastic days working alongside Paula Pryke and her very knowledgable team in her London based flower school. Although my hands are very sore and covered in spinters from binding pine to wreaths and wiring up many christmassy delights, I must say I throughly enjoyed every minute of it. Not only did I have the chance to put into practice the wiring techniques I have learnt at college, but also the oppertunity to learn new skills and head home on the train looking like a christmas tree myself . . .  covered in gold spray paint and glitter.
