Scenario Practice

Directions: For each situation, decide which part of floral design (art, craft, or service) matters most, or which workplace fits best. Write your answer and a short reason in one or two sentences.

1. A customer is buying flowers for a funeral. They seem sad and unsure of what to choose. Which part of floral design matters most, and why?

2. A tall arrangement keeps tipping over on the bumpy drive to the customer’s home. Which part of floral design needs more attention, and why?

3. A new designer wants to build speed by making the same designs many times at set prices. Which workplace fits best, and why?

4. A designer wants to focus on one artistic style at a slower, more creative pace. Which workplace fits best, and why?

Show sample answers

1. Service. The customer needs gentle, patient listening to help them choose the right flowers for a hard moment.

2. Craft. The design must be built to hold together and travel safely, which is a hands-on craft skill.

3. A grocery or specialty market floral department, because it builds high volumes at set price points, which grows speed fast.

4. A design boutique, because boutiques focus on a certain style at a slower, more artistic pace.
