Many people turn to online flower delivery to send floral gifts to their loved ones making UK florists essential to any village and town.

The daily life of a florist is not a walk in the park. If the florist is an independent local florist, he or she wears many hats to run the shop. Florists do not only make arrangements for their customers. They also arrange their displays of plants and flowers to attract people to the shop. Part of a florist's job is to keep the shop attractive and tidy at all times.

A UK florist must also act as a salesperson. He or she must talk to customers to help with their needs and choose flowers and plants to buy for themselves or send as a gift. Besides the walk-in customers, there are also online flower orders to think about. Lastly, there are clients for events and weddings. Large events and functions need the help of assistants and other florists in the shop to fulfil the requirements on time.

Occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries require flowers in perfect condition. A UK florist sees to it that all flowers used in making bouquets and arrangements for funerals are fresh and clean. They also make sure to follow the customers' requests and provide excellent service.

Part of being a creative florist in the UK is learning new skills like wiring and presentation. Floristry is always evolving that is why it is a must for a florist UK to take classes from experts and training from accredited centres.

Glasgow has been synonymous with nature since its founding by St. Mungo in the 6th century, what else would you expect from a city known affectionately as ‘the dear green place’? These affections are not misplaced, as Glasgow is home to around 90 parks and green spaces. As a result of this association with nature, Glasgow has more than its fair share of horticulturalists, not to mention florists. Kelvingrove Park in the leafy West End of the city is by far the most famous of Glasgow’s parks, due to its proximity the University of Glasgow and the presence of the world renowned Kelvingrove Art Gallery, which is home to numerous priceless works of art including Salvador Dali’s Christ of Saint John of the Cross.  In keeping with Glaswegians love of the natural world it was also home to a 21.3m cast of a Diplodocus known as ‘Dippy the Dinosaur’ until 2019. However, the most impressive park in Glasgow for those of us with green fingers in undoubtedly the Botanical Gardens, which are also located in the city’s West End. The gardens were established in 1817 by the renowned botanist Thomas Hopkirk, with a nucleus of 3000 plant species. A number of other famous botanists, including William Jackson Hooker, who was appointed the professor of Botany at the nearby University in 1821, have taken up the task of continuing the city’s floral fascination and have added their own passions, persistence and patience in extending the collections. It was on his recommendation that David Douglas, with whom he shared numerous botanical trips to the Highlands in search of rare and beautiful local fauna, was appointed by the Royal Horticultural Society as an explorer. This proved to be a masterstroke as in 1826 he sent back seeds of the Peudotsuga menziesii-the Douglas Fir. The gardens have grown to accommodate Glaswegians, and tourist’s, love of nature and now cover an impressive 27 acres of plants, vegetables and Victorian glasshouses. The Friends of Glasgow Botanic Gardens was established in the early 90’s with the stated aim of furthering the activities of the gardens as a centre for research, education and to serve as a public amenity. It is true of almost all of Glasgow’s parks that they serve multiple functions, not least of which is as venues for entertainment as diverse as concerts, comedy shows, and theatre as well as being home to some local craft breweries. The most famous of which is West brewery located in Glasgow Green, a stone’s throw from the River Clyde in the East end of the city.

That is not to say that these are the only places to find serenity, beauty and tranquillity in the city, and no matter where you are you are never far from nature in Glasgow. There are over 30 allotments within the city, abuzz with keen amateur botanists and florists (not to mention the pollinators), helping to ensure Glasgow is worthy of the moniker ‘the dear green place’.

More recently Glasgow has built on its reputation as an oasis of greenery in an industrial world by having the most successful of five National garden festivals in 1988, which attracted over 4 million visitors to the city over 152 days. This, in turn, led to Glasgow being named European City of Culture in 1990. Together these events raised Glasgow’s national and international reputation, resulting in more people enjoying the beauty of ‘the dear green place’. To build on these successes Glasgow now provides many nationally recognised courses in both Horticulture and Floristry, most notably at Glasgow Clyde College which is affiliated with both the BritishFloristAssociation.org and the Institute of Professional florists. Remembering our past is essential in ensuring our future, and the future of Glasgow's natural spaces and anthophiles is secure.
