What Does a Florist Do?

Answer:
Florists buy, select, arrange, and sell flowers for

decoration. Florists are employed in various businesses, from large warehouses to small stands on the side of the road. Florist shops are common in many cities and towns, and flowers can also be ordered by Internet and telephone in most areas. Other items stocked in a florist shop include vases, dried flowers, ribbons, greenery, baskets, and other decorative tools, to make arrangements or be purchased.

Florists usually sell cut flowers singly, in bouquets, or in arrangements, but they may also sell potted plants. Some florists deal with mainly walk-in orders, while others arrange advance orders for weddings and other big events. A good florist will be able to recommend appropriate flowers for any occasion, whether it be a happy occasion or a time to offer condolences.
