A New Member Of The Team

This is our new co-op placement student from Seneca College, Claire. We're so excited to have her working with us as part of her floristry program. Erin and I have many memories, some of them fond, of our co-op placement days so are eager to make a good impression.

I thought I'd get Claire to tell us a little bit about herself:

Q. Why did you decide to take the floristry course?
A.I took a co-op in high school at a flower shop in my hometown and my mom is a landscaper so I've always been around flowers.

Q. What is your favourite part of the course so far?
A.The practical part, actually getting to work with the flowers rather than the theory and books. And of course the field placement part :)

Q. What's your favourite flower?
A. Orchid....or a calla! There are so many to choose from.

We've put Clarie to work already, she's doing a great job planting up spring bulb gardens and making some designs for the shop display,. This afternoon we tackle the fridge- cutting, cleaning and sorting through every stem in there, as we do every couple of days.
