* How do I become a Florist?
* What training is available?
* What skills & qualifications should an employer seek?
Floristry offers an exciting and creative career path with many opportunities. The industry has a significant need for trained staff and employment prospects are excellent at all level
However, it takes many years to become a fully qualified, professional florist and the increasing competition from multiple retailers means that the industry’s future florists will increasingly need to be specialist craftspeople that are able to offer customers a bespoke product and outstanding customer service. Most student florists will need to undertake a structured training programme in order to develop the skills required…
There are three main routes to becoming a florist:
1. ‘On the job’ training in a floristry business.
2. College based training, either full or part-time.
3. A combination of ‘on the job’ & college training.
‘On The Job’ Training …
‘On the job’ training is the best method of gaining an understanding
of the way that a floristry business works, and of developing the practical
skills that a florist needs to use on a day to day basis. This type of training
can definitely help a florist develop their commercial skills but doesn’t
automatically enable them to gain a qualification. However, commercial factors
such as construction speed, value for money, & customer impact can only
truly be gained in a working environment such as a florists shop…
The Government is currently encouraging ‘on the job’ training via
the ‘Modern Apprenticeship’ scheme, whereby trainees can gain National
Vocational Qualifications, (NVQ’s).
‘On the job’ training is unpopular with many employers because it
can be time consuming & has to fit around the day-to-day running of the
business. Some employers do offer structured training but in reality many employers
currently find it difficult to organise & provide a broad structured training
programme for their employees and instead focus on a limited range of skills
that will benefit the immediate needs of the business, rather than the long
term career development of the trainee.
Many shops will only provide limited ‘on the job’ training for complete
beginners and prefer to employ trained & experienced staff.
Those shops that are able to provide structured ‘on the job’ training often prefer to do this in collaboration with colleges or training providers who specialise in offering trainees a broad, structured NVQ training programme that supports the florist and allows the employer to focus on running their business. This training can be entirely ‘work-based’, but some providers combine ‘on the job’ training with attending college on a day-release basis.
College based training …
‘College based’ training is the most common route that a student
will take to becoming a florist.
There are currently around 100 UK colleges offering courses, These vary from
specialist ‘land-based’ horticultural colleges with purpose built
training facilities; to general further education colleges with out special
facilities; some colleges offer courses at ‘out-centres’ such as
community centres.
The range of floristry courses and study options available is extremely complex and it is important to seek advice when selecting an appropriate course. (See the Qualifications Table for information about courses that may be suitable).

History Print
PETUNIA-REDAart and Cornelia van Wingerden emigrated from Holland to the United States with six dollars, a few possessions they could carry and the belief that there were better opportunities to be found in this country. With that philosophy, they worked together and successfully established greenhouse nurseries in six states and Holland, an innovative greenhouse design company, a corporation that develops and tests new growing methods and a nonprofit organization that is involved with agricultural projects in developing nations. Mr. Van Wingerden passed away in 1996 and his wife passed away ten years later. Today Van Wingerden International, Inc. is a privately owned greenhouse operation in Mills River, NC.
red-mumsWhen the Van Wingerden family came to the United States with three children and expecting their fourth, Aart was able to find a job on a farm in New Jersey and use the skills he had developed while working on his parents’ farm in Holland. Twenty-four years and several successful greenhouse operations later, they were in search of an ideal location to establish a new business; that search took them to western North Carolina.
Mr. Van Wingerden said, “I asked a national seed company salesman where he would go to start a greenhouse nursery if he could go anywhere and start fresh Western North Carolina was his answer – for climate and for beauty.”
pinkpoinsettaTwo critical needs for a grower are a good water supply and adequate winter sunlight hours. Near Asheville, they found both. Mr. Van Wingerden said the conditions were perfect - “We saw this area and fell in love with it. It’s absolutely beautiful.”
The Van Wingerden family moved to North Carolina in 1973 and
began developing an operation that now encompasses more than 37 acres of greenhouses.
A key to the company’s growth has been its effectiveness in combining
Dutch and American growing philosophies to provide a large selection of top-quality
plants. In Holland, most growers specialize in one or two particular plants,
and the products are sold to retailers through a nationwide auction system.
Such centralized marketing in impractical for a country the size of the United
States, where “one-stop shopping” is what wholesalers demand.

Philosophy Print
double-harvest.jpgMany innovative additions to the company’s operation and the greenhouse industry have been a product of that philosophy.An invention by Aart Van Wingerden that may have had the greatest impact on the industry is the Winstrip,™ a patented, containerized system for growing young plants, or plugs, for later transplanting. In the design of typical trays, too much emphasis had been placed on nurturing the top of the plant. Winstrip was designed to benefit the roots of the plant.
The structure of the Winstrip optimizes vertical airflow and root-ball aeration
and prevents the root curling that occurs in a typical plug tray.
This new growing method proved successful and greatly benefited Double Harvest Inc., an nonprofit organization that operations agricultural programs in a number of developing nations. “We all share the pleasures of this earth; we must share the burdens as well,” Aart emphasized. Double Harvest currently operates in Haiti, Ethiopia, and Sudan. The focus of the program is long-term; the goal: self-sufficiency.
“We feel that our fellow man is never really helped through handouts, for handouts are a temporary solution and avoid the reasons for the needs. Our goal is to provide people with the knowledge and skills to enhance agricultural techniques that will allow them to improve their conditions through their own efforts and thus achieve self-sufficiency, a sense of dignity and hope for the future,” Mr. Van Wingerden explained.
double-harvest-field.jpgWith the help, support, and efforts of Double Harvest staff and those foreign nationals who have worked with Double Harvest, great strides have been made, he noted. In many cases, difficult growing conditions have been overcome through hard work and the use of several modern methods. Drip irrigation produces a slow, steady water supply to crops, utilizing a minimum amount of water, and reforestation helps renew the land and prevent erosion.
All Double Harvest programs are designed to demonstrate that agriculture can indeed be a profitable venture. “People already know how to lose money; we don’t need to teach them that. Our goal is to teach them to make money and, consequently, to be more independent.”
double-harvest2.jpgDouble Harvest itself retains no profits; earnings are used to improve the operation, support Christian schools, build and support medical clinics and assist farmers in establishing their own operations. “In the process,” Mr. Van Wingerden pointed out, “new jobs are created, more goods become available for the marketplace, and, ultimately, the general economy of the nation in which we are working is improved.”
Aart said that he and Cornelia enjoy being able to share the knowledge of their industry in such a beneficial way. “We enjoy helping others learn and learning more ourselves. We give plants the food and shelter they need; we try to do the same for other people. It’s one of the things I enjoy most about this business – being able to give. I love creating the beauty, always finding a better way to create beauty; I also like making the money and being able to spend it on worthwhile projects.”
“You seach the world,” he challenged, “And if you find someone who enjoys their life more than I do, let me know. I’d like to meet them.”
Thank you, Mr. Van Wingerden, for the legacy you left to your
family, our company, and the greenhouse industry!

Sustainable Practices Print
friendofriver.jpg
Sustainable development is “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” (World Commission on Environment and Development)
At VanWingerden International, Inc., we strive for sustainable development in our product components and growing procedures.
As a wholesale grower, our product is intrinsically environmentally friendly. However, we are taking many additional steps to make our whole company’s practices as ‘green’ as possible.
Ebb/flood Irrigation – Our irrigation method is a fully contained watering system; that means no runoff and no wastewater!
Winstrips – Our seedling trays are made of injection molded plastic which can be reused again and again.
Biocontrols – Whenever possible,we use biological controls instead of pesticides. Biological controls are natural enemies of pest species; for example, lady bugs feed on insects and mites. We spend over $125,000 per year on biological controls!
irrigation-photosynthesis.gif
Energy Use/Climate Control – the climate in our greenhouses is regulated by a completely computerized systemwhich greatly reduces our heating and cooling costs and also creates less of an impact on the environment. Also, we use carbon dioxide in the greenhouses. Plants require CO2 for photosynthesis, a process which converts CO2 into oxygen and sugar.
straw.jpg
Recycling – We are working with our cardboard and plastic
suppliers (boxes, tags, pots, pot covers, and sleeves) to recycle as much as
possible. Also, several viable organic alternatives to plastic are emerging
(such as biodegradable straw pots.) Most of our product is shipped on reusable
metal carts instead of in boxes.

The main decision to make is whether to study full-time or part-time…
Full time study is ideal for school leavers who wish to improve their employment
prospects and gain a wide range of floristry skills. Full-time routes are also
ideal for mature students seeking a change of career as they are able to gain
a wide range of skills in a short period and are then well placed to enter the
industry at intermediate level. Full-time courses also exist for students wishing
to undertake a more academic study route, e.g. Higher Education, although some
prior industry experience is normally an essential entry requirement. You should
be aware that ‘full-time’ attendance can range from 3-5 days per
week plus home study, depending on the course & college, and that a number
of land-based colleges offer hostel accommodation for students studying away
from home. Many ‘full-time’ courses also include an element of ‘work
experience’. It is essential that students seeking to study full-time
gain as much work experience as possible to enable them to put their skills
into practise, and build up their commercial awareness.
Part-time study is more widely available than full-time, especially at non-specialist colleges. It is often possible to find the same course offered both full and part-time by different colleges. Where this is the case students should consider which option best meets their needs, for example: Does the part-time course cover the training in as much depth? Does the full-time course offer enough flexibility? – If you choose a part-time course to gain part-time employment alongside your studies. (It is not realistic to expect to master the skills a florist needs without significant practice and commercial experience.)
Once you have gained basic floristry skills and qualifications you should consider taking follow-on courses to develop more advanced skills and training. Part-time courses are ideal for this as they enable you to work and study at the same time.
Some employers are wary of taking on florists who are ‘college trained’.
This is partly because these florists can the lack commercial experience and
speed required when they first start a job, and often need further training
to fit into the shop. However, in the longer term college training offers advantages
both to the employer and employee due to the range of skills and underpinning
knowledge the florist gains from college training. Some business owners are
understandably wary of employing students completing ‘advanced’
courses, as these florists could become competitors in the future. However,
there is a significant skills gap in the industry at advanced level and good
employment opportunities do exist.
