FAQ

Q. Isn't there a simple way to arrange bouquets of flowers into attractive displays without a closet full of special tools, supplies, and flower paraphernalia?

A. Absolutely! Just join the Flowerhandlers Community to access our more than a dozen "TipSheets", and the "Tips" chapter in our "Blooms" E-book for plenty of fast, fun, and easy ways to style and design everyday bouquets of fresh cut flowers into fabulous arrangements - without a lot of specialty equipment.

Q. I'm a little curious about the work you are doing here, but there is so much detail here I don't know where to begin.

A. We admit there is a lot of information buried in the layers of the Flowerhandlers body of work. Putting it all together required years of research and development.

The easiest way for you to start is:

Sort through our offerings and explore the one aspect of the site that has the most appeal to you right now.

Then join the Flowerhandlers Community and choose the specific version of "Blossoms" you wish to receive. Your "Blossoms" newsletters will refer you back to private pages and archives on the Flowerhandlers website that are meant to help you on your individual floral journey.

Q. I'm not sure I want to get on another mailing list, how often will you be sending me emails?

A. First, You Always Have Complete Control of your communications with us.

• Flowerhandlers Subject-lines are systematized so you can quickly decide whether to DELETE, SAVE, or READ RIGHT AWAY any message we send you.
• We use an automatic unsubscribe which guarantees your immediate removal from our list as soon as you request it.
• Second, when you join the Flowerhandlers Community you can expect to receive:
• "Blossoms" - A (26 sessions) every other week series.
• "Connections" - brief (approximately quarterly) announcements of new Community Bulletin postings.

Third, later on if you'll give us more contact information (city, state, interests, goals, etc.) we'll keep you updated with separate messages specifically related to - your expressed interest, geographic location, or opportunities that support your floral journey - as they occur.

Q. I'm a floristry student having trouble researching (getting the numbers/information I need) about the floral industry. Where can I find statistics about the floral industry?

A. Our Resources page is a great place to start. You'll find links to groups and organizations that offer research - statistics that show you what has already happened in the industry.

If you are serious about a career in the industry you should also Join the Flowerhandlers Community and request "Blossoms for Future Flower Handlers" because to create a floral career that fits your dreams and desires you will also need information about the possibilities in life. The Flowerhandlers body of work will help you understand the future of the industry - your possibilities - rather than encouraging you to copy what (research proves) has been done or what once was a good path.
