Floristry
The floristry industry in the UK currently comprises over 8000 small and medium-sized businesses covering floristry design, floristry creation, retailing and delivery. The UK fresh cut flower and indoor plant market is worth about £2.2 billion at retail level. To put this in perspective, the UK music industry is worth around £2 billion. The accessibility of flowers and plants has never been better but there is still the need for the independant florist who can make a point of knowing their customers and adjust to changing fashions and tastes. Also, the increase in the popularity of exotic flowers and plants means that there is a demand for new skills and knowledge to ensure the continued success of this industry.
