container prep

[Joe Mioux]

Joe, we do agree on this though there are exceptions to all rules. I continually watch employees spend so much time and money on labor and product and I can't see the virtue of doing this. At holiday times, it may take a couple of designers several days to glue and tape and for what reason? If a container turns over, that glue will not hold it in....it will pop off and so will tape. It is so easy to shape the oasis to fit tight and also give space for watering.

There are right ways and wrong ways to do things.

There are right ways and wrong ways to prep and arrange flowers.

There are right ways and wrong ways to load a delivery van.

I keep marvelling at all those lessons my mom and dad taught me.

Lessons that I took for granted but performed.

Lessons like the proper way to "sweep soil" under a spade in order to get all of the material.

Lessons like "that BB on that Carnation boutiniere looks awful," mom.

Those two people pushed me really really hard. None of you know the depth of the pushing -- instructions.

I only pre glue the Lomey plates or the disposable bowls so there is no need for the customer to worry about glue residue. I agree that the glue is hard to remove and do not want to ruin a container my customer may wish to keep.
