I would like to talk about an experience I had when I was at university.When I was a student,I had a part-time job at a local florist’s shop.The customers who came into the shop would often ask me for advice.At first,I was quite hesitant about making suggestions-I’m not exactly sure why.Partly I guess because I was only 19,but also because I didn’t feel very sure of myself-I was certainly no expert.

However,I quickly came to realise that most of my customers really didn’t have a clue about flowers!Soon I was giving tips about everything–from which types of flowers to choose at different times of year-so daffodils and tulips in the spring-or to how to put different colour schemes together.I was even making recommendations about which flowers or arrangements might be more suitable for different recipients or occasions.

On top of that,I started explaining how to look after cut flowers once you’ve bought them.I was shocked to find that most people didn’t know that they should cut the stems at an angle to make the flowers last longer for example–or add a couple of teaspoons of sugar to the water.I thought everyone knew that!

Once I got the hang of it,I loved giving advice to the customers.They were very appreciative,and they used to come back into the shop to tell me how much their mother or girlfriend–or husband or boyfriend–had liked the flowers,and to thank me for my help.I hadn’t expected a job in a flower shop to be so rewarding!
