Floristry is the general term used to describe the professional floral trade. It encompasses flower care and handling, floral design or flower arranging, merchandising and display and flower delivery. Wholesale florists sell bulk flowers and
related supplies to professionals in the trade. Retail florists offer fresh flowers and related products and services to consumers. Floristry is sometimes used as an umbrella term referring to the cultivation of flowers as well as their arrangement,
rather than solely to the business of selling them. However, the floral industry is the basic drive behind floristry. Florist shops, along with online stores are the main flower-only outlets, but supermarkets, garden supply stores and filling stations
also sell flowers. Florists must have good hand-eye coordination, so they don't hurt or destroy the flowers. They also must know how to care for certain types of flowers, to keep them healthy and beautiful. Floral Design or floral arts is the art of
creating flower arrangements in vases, bowls, baskets or other containers, or making bouquets and compositions from cut flowers, foliages, herbs, ornamental grasses and other botanical materials. Often the terms "floral design" and "floristry" are
considered synonymous. Florists are people who work with flowers and plants, generally at the retail level. The term is not to be confused with floristics (the study of distribution and relationships of plant species over geographic areas.). Floristry is
also not to be confused with horticulture which more broadly relates to the cultivation of flowers and plants.
