The floristry industry is the production, commerce and trade in flowers. It covers flower care and handling, floral design and arrangement, merchandising, production, display and flower delivery. Wholesale florists within the industry sell bulk flowers and related supplies to other professionals in the trade, while retail florists sell fresh flowers and related products and services directly to consumers.

Facts
FAQs
Why do florists work extra hours around holidays?
Fresh flowers perish quickly and orders cannot be made far ahead.
Fresh cut flowers are perishable, so most floral orders cannot be completed far in advance. Florists therefore tend to work additional hours just before and during holidays, which are busier times of the year for floral designers than other periods.
