Expertise I can answer questions pertaining to fresh cut floral care, mechanics of design, floral marketing, training employees, and business advice. I cannot answer questions of precise business laws as it varies upon the city, county, and state that one practices in.
Experience I am a floral designer by trade and studied at the prestigious Hixson's School of Floral Design for two of Mr. Hixson's classes. I have a family history of floral design and greenhouse work dating back to the 1920's. I have worked in the business for the last 30 years.
