Freelance
Full time, salary up to £35k
I live and work in London as a freelance florist. I grew up around flowers – my grandparents grew flowers and plants for Birmingham Flower Market. I studied at Pershore College of Horticulture and followed my qualification with work experience at several local florists. If you're not sure about your career path, try volunteering for a local florist.

My job includes regular trips to Covent Garden Flower Market sourcing flowers and plants for private parties, homes and events.

I help create and install flowers, which my employers have proposed to their clients in some of London's most iconic venues and ultimately help to transform a space by bringing nature inside.

The changing seasons bring an abundance of varying flowers and plants making every job completely different – it's the reason I feel so passionate about my career.
