Louise’s work experience placement was in a local florist’s shop called Susan’s Flowers. Louise helped to condition the flowers and water the plants and she also became ‘a real whizz’ at making bows:

I’ve also been writing up cards and helping with writing down names and addresses for orders. I enjoy seeing the lovely people and I enjoy doing the jobs.
