Floristry
Floristry is a very visual trade skill that shows the best of Mother Nature, using cuttings from different exotic and native flowers and plants and involves using colour, textures and embellishments.

The assembling of flower arrangements for different occasions needs talent and a special eye and colour co-ordination for the intricate detailing necessary. World skills courses recently held in New Zealand demonstrate the very high standards of floristry the students are learning.
