Where do I start on my first ever blog18 August 2023Where do I start on my first ever blog … well at the beginning would be a good place 🤗….. my love for flowers came from a unexpected delivery , I was 15 and worked Saturdays at a local supermarket, all of a sudden there was this beautiful bouquet under my nose whilst I was stood at my til …" here's a delivery for you , there's a card on the flowers" I was gob smacked … I opened the card and it read from a passing admirer !x . It was such a lovely feeling receiving those flowers and 30 years on I still remember how lovely it was and how special it made me feel. I never did meet the sender but that was a monumental start to my floristry journey When we encounter a beautiful bouquet or a well-tended garden, our brains respond by releasing dopamine, the "feel-good" neurotransmitter. This chemical reaction induces a sense of pleasure and reinforces positive emotions. Additionally, flowers have been associated with strengthening social connections, as gifting or receiving flowers is often seen as a thoughtful and caring gesture. This was something I wanted to explore , how amazing would it be to be able to make people have these amazing responses to a kind gesture from a friend or colleague…. The path was set for me to Explore the world of floristry .
