Hello,
I am just starting into the floral business in a small town in Southern Illinois, USA. Right now I am working only with silks out of my home. I am currently coordinating with two mentors.
One is a business mentor and has local contacts that they are introducing me to and is helping me learn all I need to know bout getting started in business and rechecking that I am doing everything I need to do to become a success. The other is a floral specific mentor that owned their own shop for 35+ years and is now retired, from her I am learning things about this industry specifically and about live design work and flower handling, as I do not have much knowledge in that area.
I came to know of this site by reading on other sites and doing internet searches. I am here to listen and learn. In the past year I have begun to learn exactly how much I have to learn, and feel that sites like this one and others have much to teach me.
Thank you for your time.
