Day two of this program is when the real fun begins! The shop opens first thing in the morning and students will begin to fill as many orders as they can by the end of the day. The expectation is that students will be able to complete each order within 30 minutes. During this simulation, and under the watchful eye of seasoned professionals, students will learn the real requirements and atmosphere of a real flower shop while enjoying all the fun and challenging parts. The program will leave each student brimming with confidence.
