I have always dreamed of having this job...

I could see you in that job.

She really had a way with flowers. R.I.P.

Thankies NBJ...

It's what I dew...and I luv ... I certianly respect Ms. Clark for her devotion.

That's how most of we flower folks are.. I don't see myself ever dew'n anything different.

66 is not that old!!! RIP Nancy Clarke

but u have a good chance at getting her job ~ seeing she is now dead!!!

Back-in-the-day there used to be a greenhouse at N.Y.I.T. (my college) which was a remnant of the former mansion/estate that the school took over.

Anyway...the school kept the greenhouse (which used to supply the estate's home with fresh flowers year-round flowers) and the little old lady who used to take care of it. So up until she died, the school had a functioning greenhouse with flowers & stuff.

By the time I got there, the lady had long-since-died and the abandoned greenhouse was converted into a small gym.

she wasn't very old? RIP x

can't imagine she died of stress related illness, being a florist must be a cushy job? just popping a few flowers into a vase.

I know this is what everyone thinks but, can be very stressful getting to know

everyones paticular tastes and Holidays and Weddings ...I am sure you have heard of Bridzilla's

We take great pride in our work...just as any Artist worry just as much as the Bride and

want to make each individual happy with what there minds eye may have visioned. Takes patience

and getting to know each person.

Not all about stickin' 's in green squishy stuff all day or a vase'

sorry 4 the lil rant there...

Actually I always wondered why they didn't try and incorporate some horticultural classes or something into the school curriculum - I mean it was THERE - but other than the mansion that was used for weddings and films (it was used for the original movie Arthur w/ Dudle Moore) I guess there really wasn't such a need for flowers in a university environment.

it's ok, i deserved a slap cuz of course arranging flowers requires skills.. i saw your beautiful creations, that takes time & patience. us girls know exactly what we like & everything HAS to be perfect!.. very stressy job indeed

i love most flowers, whites, creams, yellows & plenty of foliage! i'd be an easy customer
