A florist is a professional who specializes in arranging and selling flowers and plants. They create beautiful floral designs for various occasions, such as weddings, birthdays, and funerals. Florists often work in shops or as part of event planning teams, using their creativity and knowledge of different flower types to meet customer needs. In addition to arranging flowers, florists also provide advice on plant care and may sell related products like vases and gardening supplies. They often collaborate with suppliers to source fresh blooms and may offer delivery services to ensure customers receive their orders promptly.
