Picadilly Flowers

If you can imagine, February is a busy time of year for floral shops. I started as a Sales Clerk to help answer the phones that were ringing off the hook as well as place orders for the line extending out the door. During my time at Picadilly, two talented floral designers took me under their wing and taught me there is a formula to creating a bouquet of a dozen roses.
