Thursday : Start Designing : Centerpieces Tend To Be The Focus. Friday : Bouquets & Ceremony Arrangements. Saturday : Boutonnieres & Pack Up Jackaroo The Subaru Florister. Add In The Set Up & On-Site Designing Of Floral Installs. Monday : Clean Up My Studio. Disinfect & Scrub Buckets, Sweep Up Leaves & Stems, Fill My Compost Bin, Reset Supplies & Design Station.
