It starts with finding a market for your flowers: would you like to offer bouquets to end customers, or would you prefer to supply local florist shops, or even a wholesaler? You could also work as a wedding designer if you have floristry skills, or secure some contracts for the regular supply of flowers to hotels, B&B’s, restaurants, hair dressers or other businesses where presentation is important.
