I own and operate The Flower Hut at South Hurstville, and have done so for the past 6 years. In 2006 we won Florist of Year for the NSW Metropolitan Region, awarded by Sydney Flower Markets - a fantastic achievement for us. We have been consistant in the 6 years that this competition has been running by being in the top 30 finalists each year. We specialise in weddings, check out our website at www.flowerhut.com.au. I employ 2 fantastic girls and we have a wonderful time creating beautiful flower bouquets and arrangements. I am also a part time florist tafe teacher which has given me a new passion for floristry sharing my skills and knowledge with upcoming enthusiastic florists. I love this industry and hope we can work together to develop it more in this increasingly competitive market.... xxx!

To become a professional, commercial florist, it takes 3 years of dedicated study at tafe. I believe to lift the industry standard and to educate the public, this should be manditory for anyone wishing to open and operate a florist. In this increasing competitive market (with the likes of fruit shops/service stations/Coles and Woolworths) cashing in on our industry I believe we need to raise the bar and regulate the industry... so the public will understand and appreciate the skill involved in becoming a professional, commercial florist.
