As management, I am responsible for organizing a schedule, light accounting work and dealing with the public. We are Greene County's largest most modern florist and have been her for over 75 years. We also have a successful wedding floral market that has picked up dramatically over the last couple of years. One nice thing about this job is experience is not necessary. Anyone with an eye for color and style can be trained in a floral career.
Most employees are responsible for some skills, other than management duties.
My grandmother and uncle have a floral shop and I started out there while still in high school. After attending college and attending a medical emergency technician school, I worked for a local ambulance service for a couple years until I applied here for my current job. Holidays mean putting in a lot of long hours. Dealing with the public in the capacity that we do can often be stressful at times. When we hear satisfied customers praising our work and we know we have done a good job, it is extremely rewarding.
